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 degradation of membrane-associated proteins, which constitute a crucial class of drug targets implicated in diverse disease pathologies, has garnered considerable attention in chemical biology and drug discovery recently. Taking advantage of the endosomal entrapment of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) in delivering bioactive macromolecules, we successfully construct a CPP-based platform for specific degradation of cell surface proteins by conjugation of target protein-binding small molecules (SMs) with different CPPs, resulting in the formation of CPP-mediated lysosome-targeting chimeras (CPPTACs). Through the endo-lysosomal pathway, CPPTACs exhibit a remarkable ability to degrade clinically significant plasma membrane proteins, including PD-L1, CAIX, and CB
