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

Genetically encoded covalent peptide tagging technology, such as the SpyTag-SpyCatcher reaction, has emerged as a unique way to do chemistry with proteins. Herein, we report the reactivity engineering of SpyTag-SpyCatcher mutant pairs and show that distinct reactivity can be encrypted for the same reaction based on protein sequences of high similarity. Valuable features, including high selectivity, inverse temperature dependence and (nearly) orthogonal reactivity, could be achieved based on as few as three mutations. This demonstrates the robustness of the SpyTag-SpyCatcher reaction and the plasticity of its sequence specificity, pointing to a family of engineered protein chemistry tools.
