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

Dynamic cellular processes often employ protein phosphorylation for rapid information transfer within and between cells. Phosphorylation-inducing chimeric small molecules (PHICS) have been developed for targeted protein phosphorylation by on-demand inducing a kinase-protein pairing. However, widespread application of PHICS has been limited as previously reported PHICS that recruited AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) required serum starvation and target protein overexpression, recruited only a few of the potential AMPK complexes, and exhibited poor dose and temporal control. Herein, we report an AMPK PHICS platform that operates under physiological conditions (i.e., no serum starvation), recruits multiple AMPK complexes, and can induce target protein phosphorylation with dose and temporal control. We demonstrated the utility of this platform for controlling phosphorylations that underlie two dynamic cellular processes, namely, oncogenic signaling and phase separation. An AMPK PHICS directed against Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), which is a driver of several B cell malignancies, was effective at inducing the death of drug-resistant cancer cells. Here, PHICS induced inhibitory phosphorylations on BTK and attenuated its oncogenic pathway. Phosphorylation of Liprin-α3 induces phase separation in neurons and is critical for neurotransmitter release. Using AMPK PHICS that phosphorylated Liprin-α3, we induced Liprin-α3 phase separation with dose and temporal control. We envision that this PHICS platform will find utility in inducing and controlling protein phosphorylations for basic research and biomedicine.
