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

Cereblon (CRBN) is one of the most widely co-opted E3 ligase substrate receptor proteins in targeted protein degradation (TPD), and several CRBN-recruiting degraders are currently in late-stage preclinical evaluation. While the diversity of CRBN-recruiting moieties has rapidly expanded, the glutarimide ring has remained largely conserved in these ligands. Glutarimides can form during protein cleavage events via the intramolecular cyclization of glutamine within the protein backbone. Inspired by this biological mechanism, we developed CRBN-recruiting prodegraders by replacing the glutarimide in parent degraders with uncyclized glutamine analogs. Prodegraders derived from a potent, cytotoxic GSPT1 degrader exhibited
