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

Protein inhibitors that shift the thermodynamic equilibrium towards a denatured state escape, in general, the straightforward framework of competitive or allosteric inhibitors. The equilibrium properties of peptides which compete with the folding, or more precisely destabilize the native state, of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 protease monomer are studied within a structure-based model. The effect of peptides that disrupt the hydrophobic core of the protein can still be summarized in terms of an inhibition constant, which depends on the thermal stability of the protein. The state of the protein denatured by such a peptide is more structured than its intrinsic denatured state, but displays the same degree of compactness. Peptides that target less buried regions of the protein are less efficient and display a more complex thermodynamics that cannot be captured in a simple way.
