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

Uncovering the relationships between peptide and protein sequences and binding properties is critical for successfully predicting, re-designing and inhibiting protein-protein interactions. Systematically collected data that link protein sequence to binding are valuable for elucidating determinants of protein interaction but are rare in the literature because such data are experimentally difficult to generate. Here we describe SORTCERY, a high-throughput method that we have used to rank hundreds of yeast-displayed peptides according to their affinities for a target interaction partner. The procedure involves fluorescence-activated cell sorting of a library, deep sequencing of sorted pools and downstream computational analysis. We have developed theoretical models and statistical tools that assist in planning these stages. We demonstrate SORTCERY's utility by ranking 1026 BH3 (Bcl-2 homology 3) peptides with respect to their affinities for the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-xL. Our results are in striking agreement with measured affinities for 19 individual peptides with dissociation constants ranging from 0.1 to 60nM. High-resolution ranking can be used to improve our understanding of sequence-function relationships and to support the development of computational models for predicting and designing novel interactions.
