1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The kinase-inducible (KIX) domain, a structured region within the transcriptional coactivators CREB-binding protein (CBP) and p300, serves as a docking site for multiple transcription factors, including the mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) protein. The MLL-KIX protein-protein interaction (PPI) has been implicated in various diseases, such as leukemia, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. In this study, we developed a series of MLL-mimicking peptidomimetic foldamers based on a sulfonyl-γ-AApeptide backbone. These helical foldamers successfully mimic the folded transactivation domain (TAD) of MLL and bind the KIX domain with a high affinity. Consistent with the notion that MLL-KIX interaction can allosterically enhance CREB signaling, we found that the sulfonyl-γ-AApeptides strongly stimulate CREB-dependent gene expression. Moreover, they exhibit no significant cytotoxicity under the tested conditions, demonstrating both binding specificity and therapeutic potential for targeting CREB-related pathways in neurodegenerative disorders.
