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

The use of molecular glues to modulate protein-protein interactions has emerged as a promising approach to drug previously intractable targets. Despite strong interest in this modality, a comprehensive theoretical framework is lacking. We have established a complete mechanistic analysis which enables the determination of molecular glues' binding and cooperativity values from a simple biochemical matrix experiment. We validated the model using numerical integration and experimental data from fluorescence resonance energy transfer and fluorescence polarization assays. As the derived models enable the determination of all thermodynamic parameters of any molecular glue, they have significant applications in drug discovery, particularly for molecular glue optimization and characterization of neo-substrates.
