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

DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) have become a powerful platform in drug discovery, practiced both by the pharmaceutical industry and academia. Each small molecule contained in a DEL is covalently linked to a DNA tag which serves as an amplifiable barcode facilitating binder identification. However, the chemical diversity accessible in DELs remains limited by the need to perform reactions under conditions that preserve the integrity of the DNA tag. Additionally, chemical reactions must proceed with high efficiency and selectivity to minimize side products and unreacted starting materials, which cannot be removed and may hamper hit identification. Consequently, expanding the DEL chemical space requires the development of methods that combine high reaction performance with DNA compatibility. In this outlook, we highlight the potential of enzymatic catalysis for on-DNA synthesis, which offers a promising route to expand DEL-accessible chemical space.
