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

DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DELs) are powerful tools for drug discovery, enabling the high-throughput screening of vast libraries of small molecules against target proteins of pharmaceutical interest. Here, the synthesis of two new DELs, named FM-DEL1 and FM-DEL2, including 7'710 and 5'697'690 compounds, respectively is described. These libraries are constructed by installing one or two sets of building blocks on a phenylalanine central scaffold. FM-DELs are screened against markers of prostate cancer, and renal cell carcinoma, and against an immunological target expressed on the surface of natural killer cells. Highly potent and selective binders with affinity constants in the nanomolar range are obtained from DEL screenings against those targets. Small-molecule ligands against tumor-associated antigens are used to develop small-molecule radiopharmaceuticals that selectively accumulate at cancer sites after systemic administration.
