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

Cancer progression is characterized by dysregulated G1/S phase transition mediated by CDK4/6-dependent Rb protein phosphorylation. Although CDK4/6 degraders show encouraging anti-tumor efficacy, it is highly desired to develop strategies to spatiotemporally control the release of active CDK4/6 degraders to further reduce adverse effects. In this study, we employ an optochemical strategy for CDK4/6 degradation by caging the CRBN ligand with a photoremovable protecting group. Light irradiation at 365 nm triggers photocleavage, thereby inducing CDK4/6 degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. The resultant G1-phase arrest demonstrates spatial and temporal control over cell-cycle progression, reducing off-target effects of current therapies. This light-controlled system allows spatiotemporal CDK4/6 degradation and G1 cell-cycle arrest, providing a promising strategy to enhance specificity for cancer treatment and fundamental biological research.
