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

Terpenoid alkaloids are derived from the fusion of structurally diverse terpenoid- and alkaloid moieties. The biologically relevant chemical space defined by this unique natural product (NP) class may be explored beyond the limitations of biosynthetic pathways by means of the pseudo natural product (PNP) principle, i.e., by combination of NP fragments in different arrangements. We describe the design, synthesis and structural evolution of a monoterpene-pyrrolidine PNP collection obtained by functionalization and combination of bicyclic monoterpenes with pyrrolidine alkaloid-derived fragments. Diverse fusion strategies led to the discovery of (-)-myrtenal-pyrrolidine PNPs that are indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) inhibitors and degraders, termed iDegs. Structural fine-tuning modulated both degradation and inhibition potencies. Co-crystallization revealed that iDegs induce unprecedented changes in the C-terminus of IDO1 which promote degradation. iDegs inhibited tumor growth in SKOV-3 tumor-bearing mice and led to prolonged survival, which promises to inspire novel medicinal chemistry programs aimed at IDO1 in different diseases.
