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) are promising next-generation therapeutics for the degradation of disease-associated proteins. However, optimizing the physicochemical properties of PROTACs, particularly their poor cell membrane permeability, remains challenging. Traditionally, PROTAC linkers have been manually designed to improve cell membrane permeability. Although recent machine learning-based approaches have enabled the rational design of PROTAC linkers, no linker design methods that explicitly address cell membrane permeability have been reported. In this study, we developed PROTAC-TS, a linker generative model that combines a chemical language model and reinforcement learning to control cell membrane permeability. We first constructed a prediction model of cell membrane permeability, which achieved high prediction performance (
