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 designer self-assembling peptide RADA16-I forms nanofiber matrices which have shown great promise for regenerative medicine and three-dimensional cell culture. The RADA16-I amino acid sequence has a β-strand-promoting alternating hydrophobic/charged motif, but arrangement of β-strands into the nanofiber structure has not been previously determined. Here we present a structural model of RADA16-I nanofibers, based on solid-state NMR measurements on samples with different schemes for (13)C isotopic labeling. NMR peak positions and line widths indicate an ordered structure composed of β-strands. The NMR data show that the nanofibers are composed of two stacked β-sheets stabilized by a hydrophobic core formed by alanine side chains, consistent with previous proposals. However, the previously proposed antiparallel β-sheet structure is ruled out by measured (13)C-(13)C dipolar couplings. Instead, neighboring β-strands within β-sheets are parallel, with a registry shift that allows cross-strand staggering of oppositely charged arginine and aspartate side chains. The resulting structural model is compared to nanofiber dimensions observed via images taken by transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Multiple NMR peaks for each alanine side chain were observed and could be attributed to multiple configurations of side chain packing within a single scheme for intermolecular packing.
