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

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is a powerful strategy for controlling protein abundance. Here, we establish FBXO31 as a TPD-competent E3 ligase by exploiting its recognition of C-terminal amide-bearing degrons. Using an amidated Ala-Phe motif as a chemical recruiter, multiple small-molecule binders can be transformed into FBXO31-dependent degraders that induce the rapid and potent degradation of FKBP12, multiple kinases, and BET proteins BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4. Mechanistic studies confirm FBXO31-mediated ternary complex formation and identify key residues in FBXO31 required for recruiter engagement and target degradation.
