A proteome-wide dependency map of protein interaction motifs.
Article in Nature structural & molecular biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Short linear motifs (SLiMs) are the most ubiquitous protein interaction motifs within unstructured regions of the human proteome, yet their contribution to cellular homeostasis remains poorly understood. Here, to systematically assess SLiM function, we applied base editing to mutate all reported and a set of computationally predicted SLiMs defined by SLiM-like evolutionary patterns. By screening 7,293 SLiM-containing regions with 80,473 mutations in HAP1 cells, we define a SLiM dependency map identifying 450 reported and 264 predicted SLiMs required for normal cell proliferation. Mutational consequences were highly reproducible in RPE1 cells, with differences attributed to cell-line-specific gene essentiality. We show that many predicted SLiMs affecting proliferation do not belong to existing classes and identify binding partners for several of these, providing mechanistic insight into a disease-associated ANKRD17 mutation. Our study provides a proteome-wide resource on SLiM essentiality uncovering numerous uncharacterized essential SLiMs.
