Recent Advances in Nanomedicine: Cutting-Edge Research on Nano-PROTAC Delivery Systems for Cancer Therapy.
Review in Pharmaceutics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) selectively degrade target proteins by recruiting intracellular E3 ubiquitin ligases, overcoming the limitations of traditional small-molecule inhibitors that merely block protein function. This approach has garnered significant interest in precision cancer therapy. However, the clinical translation of PROTACs is hindered by their typically high molecular weight, poor membrane permeability, and suboptimal pharmacokinetic properties. Nanodrug delivery technologies represent a promising approach to overcome the limitations of PROTACs. By encapsulating, conjugating, or integrating PROTACs into functionalized nanocarriers, these systems can substantially enhance solubility and biostability, enable tumor-targeted and stimuli-responsive delivery, and thereby effectively alleviate the "hook effect" and minimize off-target toxicity. This review systematically outlines the primary design strategies for current nano-PROTAC delivery systems, including physical encapsulation, chemical conjugation, carrier-free self-assembly systems, and intelligent "split-and-mix" delivery platforms. We provide an overview and evaluation of recent advances in diverse nanomaterial carriers-such as lipid-based nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, inorganic nanoparticles, biological carriers, and hybrid nanoparticles-highlighting their synergistic therapeutic potential for PROTACs delivery. The clinical translation prospects of these innovative systems are also discussed. This comprehensive analysis aims to deepen the understanding of this rapidly evolving field, address current challenges and opportunities, promote the advancement of nano-PROTACs, and offer insights into their future development.
