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 chemical modification of proteins is an enabling technology for many scientific fields, including chemical biology, biophysics, bioengineering and materials science. These methods allow the attachment of strategically selected detection probes, polymers, drug molecules and analysis platforms. However, organic reactions that can proceed under conditions mild enough to maintain biomolecular function are limited. Even more rare are chemical strategies that can target a single site, leading to products with uniform properties and optimal function. We present a versatile method for the selective modification of protein N termini that does not require any genetic engineering of the protein target. This reaction is demonstrated for 12 different proteins, including the soluble domain of the human estrogen receptor. The function of this protein was confirmed through the binding of a fluorescent estrogen mimic, and the modified protein was explored as a prototype for the detection of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in water.
