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

FDA-approved kinase inhibitors represent a rapidly growing class of targeted therapies with proven clinical success in oncology. However, their occupancy-driven mode of action is often associated with resistance, off-target effects, and incomplete inhibition. Proteolysis-Targeting Chimaeras (PROTACs) offer a compelling alternative by promoting complete degradation of oncogenic kinases, thereby enhancing selectivity and resistance reduction. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the rational design, development, and synthetic approaches for PROTACs incorporating FDA-approved kinase inhibitors. We discuss key aspects influencing degrader efficiency, including kinase selectivity, linker design, E3 ligase recruitment, and synthetic strategies. Additionally, we highlight recent advances, emerging trends, and future directions, such as expanding the repertoire of degradable kinases, optimising linker chemistry, and broadening diversity of E3 ligases. A better understanding of these factors will facilitate the continued evolution of PROTAC technology into effective next-generation therapies for kinase-driven diseases.
