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

Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) have emerged as an intriguing therapeutic strategy for targeted protein degradation (TPD), functioning as heterobifunctional compounds that induce the redirection of E3 ligases to ubiquitinate neo-substrates for proteasomal degradation. Despite the presence of over 600 E3 ligases, only a limited subset has been successfully harnessed for TPD. This study demonstrates that S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (SKP2), the substrate receptor of the Cullin RING ligase 1 (CRL1) subfamily, can be employed for TPD using a selective, non-covalent SKP2 recruiter, SL1. We designed and synthesized SKP2-recruiting degraders by linking SL1 to the BRD4 inhibitor JQ1. These compounds effectively induce BRD4 degradation in MV-4-11 cells, with the most potent compound 2-1 exhibiting a half-maximal degradation (DC
