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

CD28 is a critical costimulatory receptor involved in T cell activation and immune regulation, making it a compelling target for immunomodulatory therapies. Despite its therapeutic relevance, small molecule CD28 inhibitors remain largely underexplored. To address this gap, we developed a high-throughput screening (HTS) workflow using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to identify novel CD28-targeted small molecules. To our knowledge, this work represents the first SPR-based HTS platform applied to the discovery of small molecules targeting a stimulatory immune checkpoint receptor. A chemical library composed of diverse 1056 small molecules was screened using a 384-well format. Compounds were evaluated based on level of occupancy (LO), binding response, and dissociation kinetics, resulting in 12 primary hits (1.14% hit rate). Follow-up dose-response SPR screening confirmed micromolar-range affinities for three compounds. Molecular docking and 100 ns molecular dynamics simulations of the top hit,
