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

Based on the recent near-atomic structures of the PYRIN domain of ASC in the protein filament of inflammasomes and the observation that the active form of vitamin B6 (pyridoxal phosphate, P5P) modulates the self-assembly of ASC, we rationally designed an N-terminal capped nonapeptide (Nap-FFKKFKLKL, 1) to form supramolecular nanofibers consisting of α-helix. The addition of P5P to the solution of 1 results in a hydrogel almost instantly (about 4 seconds). Several other endogenous small molecules (for example, pyridoxal, folinic acid, ATP, and AMP) also convert the solution of 1 into a hydrogel. As the demonstration of correlating assemblies of peptides and the relevant protein epitopes, this work illustrates a bioinspired approach to develop supramolecular structures modulated by endogenous small molecules.
