Understanding the Role of H-Bonds in the Stability of Molecular Glue-Induced Ternary Complexes.
Article in Journal of chemical information and modeling, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks play a central role in many biological processes, and thus, the possibility of modulating them using small molecules offers several therapeutic opportunities. Molecular glues (MGs) are small molecules that bind to a PPI interface and stabilize the complex. Oftentimes, MGs show no measurable affinity for at least one of the proteins involved in the ternary complex, and the molecular bases for their action are not completely understood. We previously reported a significant correlation between protein-protein hydrogen bond robustness and the stability of the CRBN-CK1α complex induced by the antimyeloma drug lenalidomide. In this work, we demonstrate that this relationship is not unique for that system but rather represents a reproducible physicochemical phenomenon underlying the mechanism of action of chemically diverse MGs, including additional IMiDs and Fusicoccin A. Our results shed light on a vaguely understood phenomenon and pave the way for the development of new computational methods that enable the rational discovery of molecular glues.
