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

The antiproliferative factor (APF) involved in interstitial cystitis is a glycosylated nonapeptide (TVPAAVVVA) containing a sialylated core 1 α-O-disaccharide linked to the N-terminal threonine. The chemical structure of APF was deduced using spectroscopic techniques and confirmed using total synthesis. The synthetic APF provided a platform to study amino acid modifications and their effect on APF activity, based on which a structure-activity relationship (SAR) for APF activity was previously proposed. However, this SAR model could not explain the change in activity associated with minor alterations in the peptide sequence. Presented is computational analysis of 14 APF derivatives to identify structural trends from which a more detailed SAR is obtained. The APF activity is found to be dictated by the close interplay between carbohydrate-peptide and peptide-peptide interactions. The former involves hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interactions, and the latter is dominated by hydrophobic interactions. The highly flexible hydrophobic peptide adopts collapsed conformations separated by low energy barriers. APF activity correlates with hydrophobic clustering associated with amino acids 4A, 6V, and 8V. Peptide conformations are highly sensitive to single point mutations, which explain the experimental trends. The presented SAR will act as a guide for lead optimization of more potent APF analogues of potential therapeutic utility.
