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

DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DELs) have emerged as a powerful technology in drug discovery. The wide adoption of DELs in the pharmaceutical industry and the rapid advancements of DEL-compatible chemistry have further fuelled its development and applications. In general, a DEL has been considered as a massive binding assay to identify physical binders for individual protein targets. However, recent innovations demonstrate the capability of DELs to operate in the complex milieu of biological systems. In this Perspective, we discuss the recent progress in using DNA-encoded chemical libraries to interrogate complex biological targets and their potential to identify structures that elicit function or possess other useful properties. Future breakthroughs in these aspects are expected to catapult DEL to become a momentous technology platform not only for drug discovery but also to explore fundamental biology.
