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

Mutational optimization of two long-range interactions first observed in Ac-WINGKWT-NH2, (a) bifurcated H-bonding involving the threonine amide H(N) and side chain OH and the N-terminal acetyl carbonyl and (b) an H-bond between the entgegen-H(N) of the C-terminal amide and the indole ring of Trp6 that stabilizes a face-to-edge indole/indole interaction between Trp1 and Trp6, has afforded < or = 10 residue systems that yield a remarkably stable fold in water. Optimization was achieved by designing a hydrophobic cluster that sequesters these H-bonds from solvent exposure. The structures and extent of amide H/D exchange protection for CH3CH2CO-WI pGXWTGPS (p = D-Pro, X = Leu or Ile) were determined. These two systems are greater than 94% folded at 298 K (97.5% at 280 K) with melting temperatures > 75 degrees C. The fold appears to display minimal fluxionality; a well-converged NMR structure rationalizes all of the large structuring shifts observed, and we suggest that these designed constructs can be viewed as microproteins.
