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

Membrane protein degradation is a cutting-edge field in targeted protein degradation (TPD). Herein, we developed glypican-3 (GPC3)-mediated lysosome-targeting chimeras (GLTACs) as a novel strategy for the targeted degradation of tumor-specific membrane proteins. GLTACs utilize tumor-specific expression and endocytosis properties of GPC3 to degrade membrane proteins. By conjugating a GPC3-targeting peptide with the ligand of protein of interest (POI), GLTACs induce the formation of a ternary complex that is internalized into lysosomes, leading to the degradation of the POI. The effectiveness and specificity of GLTACs were validated by designing PD-L1, c-Met, and FGFR1 degraders. In particular, GLTAC
