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

Combining proteins or their defined domains offers new enhanced functions. Conventionally, two proteins are either fused into a single polypeptide chain by recombinant means or chemically cross-linked. However, these strategies can have drawbacks such as poor expression (recombinant fusions) or aggregation and inactivation (chemical cross-linking), especially in the case of large multifunctional proteins. We developed a new linking method which allows site-oriented, noncovalent, yet irreversible stapling of modified proteins at neutral pH and ambient temperature. This method is based on two distinct polypeptide linkers which self-assemble in the presence of a specific peptide staple allowing on-demand and irreversible combination of protein domains. Here we show that linkers can either be expressed or be chemically conjugated to proteins of interest, depending on the source of the proteins. We also show that the peptide staple can be shortened to 24 amino acids still permitting an irreversible combination of functional proteins. The versatility of this modular technique is demonstrated by stapling a variety of proteins either in solution or to surfaces.
