Genetic selection for peptide inhibitors of angiogenin.

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.
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
The improper regulation of angiogenesis is implicit in a variety of diseases, including cancer. Angiogenin is unique among angiogenic factors in having ribonucleolytic activity. Inhibitors of this activity could serve as chemotherapeutics. The ribonucleolytic activity of angiogenin is toxic to the Origami strain of Escherichia coli. Herein, this cytotoxicity was used to identify inhibitors from a random nonapeptide library tethered to the C-terminus of human angiogenin. The selected sequences fell into three classes: (i) extremely hydrophobic, (ii) putative protease (ClpXP) substrates and (iii) slightly anionic. Two peptides corresponding to sequences in the last class were synthesized chemically and found to inhibit the ribonucleolytic activity of human angiogenin in vitro with micromolar values of Ki. Both peptides also inhibit bovine pancreatic ribonuclease, a homolog of angiogenin, though one exhibits selectivity for angiogenin. The affinity and selectivity of these peptides are comparable with the best known inhibitors of angiogenin. Moreover, the strategy used to identify them is general and could be applied to other cytotoxins.
