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

Protein therapeutics have transformed drug discovery by enabling modulation of challenging targets inaccessible to small molecules. However, most proteins lack the ability to penetrate cells, where many critical drug targets reside. Here, we present reCHEMbinant protein engineering, a strategy designed to generate synthetically enhanced proteins with improved structural stability, serum resistance, and cellular uptake. Applying this approach to Omomyc, a protein-based MYC inhibitor, we developed several reCHEMbinant stapled variants (HeloMYCs) exhibiting low-nanomolar DNA-binding affinity. Notably, the
