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

We demonstrate that interactions between multimeric receptors and multivalent ligands are dramatically enhanced by recruiting a complementary templating receptor such as an endogenous multimeric protein but only when individual ligands are attached to a polymer as preorganized, covalent, heterobifunctional pairs. This effect cannot be replicated by a multivalent ligand if the same recognition elements are independently arrayed on the scaffold. Application of this principle offers an approach to create high-avidity inhibitors for multimeric receptors. Judicious selection of the ligand that engages the templating protein allows appropriate effector function to be incorporated in the polymeric construct, thereby providing an opportunity for therapeutic applications. The power of this approach is exemplified by the design of exceptionally potent Escherichia coli Shiga toxin antagonists that protect transgenic mice that constitutively express a human pentraxin, serum amyloid P component.
