Discovery of Ligands for the TNFR1 Extracellular Domain Using Fragment-Based Drug Discovery.
Article in ChemMedChem, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) plays a major role in immunoregulation. It is involved in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis. However, few small-molecule inhibitors of TNFR1 have been reported, even though they constitute a good alternative to already existing antibody therapies targeting the TNF pathway. Here, we report the discovery of a new class of molecules for the extracellular domain of TNFR1 using a fragment-based approach through primary screening by NMR spectroscopy, followed by orthogonal validation by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and X-ray crystallography. Guided by these results, we have synthesized 46 analogs with micromolar potency showing up to ∼10-fold improved affinity toward TNFR1 compared to the fragment hits. These results can provide a structural basis for the discovery of novel TNFR1 inhibitors in the future.
