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

Deubiquitinase-targeting chimeras (DUBTAC), as a highly promising emerging technology, can precisely remove ubiquitin chains from target proteins by recruiting deubiquitinases (DUBs), thereby enhancing the stability of the target proteins. Multiple functional proteins, such as the tumor suppressor proteins p53, RB, PTEN, upon stabilization by DUBTAC, can effectively restore or enhance their physiological functions, thus achieving therapeutic effects. Currently, the DUBTAC technology is still in its early stage of development, yet it has broad application prospects and represents a technological approach for developing various "undruggable" targets. This article delves into the design strategy of DUBTAC, and screens and recommends some candidate proteins with the potential to serve as drug targets. We aim to provide perspective in drug design, structural optimization, target selection, and related aspects.
