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

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) remains a formidable clinical challenge, predominantly due to the emergence of resistance to existing therapeutic regimens, including BCL-2 inhibitors like Venetoclax. Here, a novel approach is introduced by engineering BH3 mimetics utilizing non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) to achieve dual inhibition of MCL-1 and BCL-xL. Through site saturation mutagenesis scanning, the I58(Chg) mutation is identified, significantly enhancing binding affinity with IC
