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

This protocol describes a method for synthesizing peptide macrocycles from linear peptide precursors, isocyanides and aziridine aldehydes. The effects of the reaction components on the efficiency of the process are discussed. Macrocyclization is exemplified by the preparation of a nine-membered ring peptide macrocycle. The product is further functionalized by nucleophilic opening of the aziridine ring with a fluorescent thiol. This transformation constitutes a useful late-stage functionalization of a macrocyclic peptide molecule. The experimental section describes the selection of the required starting materials, and the preparation of a representative aziridine-2-carboxaldehyde dimer. The synthesis and isolation of the peptide macrocycle can be accomplished in 6 h, and the ring-opening requires approximately 6-8 h. The aziridine-2-carboxaldehyde reagent is commercially available or can be synthesized from readily available starting materials in approximately 4 d. The strategy described is not limited to the specific peptide, isocyanide, aziridine aldehyde or nucleophile used in the representative synthesis.
