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

Synthetic methods that provide control over macrocycle conformation and, at the same time, mitigate the polarity of peptide bonds represent valuable tools for the discovery of new bioactive molecules. Here, we report a macrocyclization reaction between a linear peptide, an aldehyde and (N-isocyanimino)triphenylphosphorane. This process generates head-to-tail cyclic peptidomimetics in a single step. This method is tolerant to variation in the peptide and aldehyde components and has been applied for the synthesis of 15-, 18-, 21- and 24-membered rings. The resulting peptide macrocycles feature a 1,3,4-oxadiazole and a tertiary amine in their scaffolds. This non-canonical backbone region acts as an endocyclic control element that promotes and stabilizes a unique intramolecular hydrogen-bond network and can lead to macrocycles with conformationally rigid turn structures. Oxadiazole-containing macrocycles can also display a high passive membrane permeability, an important property for the development of bioavailable peptide-based therapeutics.
