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) represents a new paradigm in drug discovery, encompassing several innovative strategies like proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs). PROTACs work by linking the target protein of interest (POI) to an E3 ubiquitin ligase, marking it for ubiquitination, and subsequent degradation by the proteasome. The ligand space of E3 ligase cereblon (CRBN) mostly includes phthalimide-based thalidomide 1 and its analogs, commonly known as cereblon E3 ligase modulators (CELMoDs) which have been approved for the treatment of multiple subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Recently, benzotriazolo thalidomide (4) was reported which displayed similar binding mode like thalidomide, having relatively stronger binding affinity. Towards our aim of identifying new generation CRBN binding ligands, which can have use either in PROTAC or CELMoD chemical space, systematic design and SAR studies around 4, synthesis, biological, and docking experiments to understand putative binding mode have been carried out. As a result, a few compounds were identified as potent CRBN ligands, including compound 13 having an IC
