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 bifunctional soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) represents a promising target for inflammation-related diseases. Although potent inhibitors targeting each domain are available, sEH-PROTACs offer the unique ability to simultaneously block both enzymatic functions, mimicking the sEH knockout phenotype, which has been associated with reducing inflammation, including neuroinflammation, and delaying the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Herein, we report the structure-based development of a potent sEH-PROTAC as a useful pharmacological tool. In order to facilitate a rapid testing of the PROTACs, a cell-based sEH degradation assay was developed utilizing HiBiT technology. We designed and synthesized 24 PROTACs. Furthermore, cocrystallization of sEH with two selected PROTACs allowed us to explore the binding mode and rationalize the most optimal linker length. After comprehensive biological and physicochemical characterization of this series, the most optimal PROTAC
