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 demand for therapeutic biologics has rapidly grown over recent decades, creating a dramatic shift in the pharmaceutical industry from small molecule drugs to biological macromolecular therapeutics. As a result of their large size and innate instability, the systemic, topical, and local delivery of biologic drugs remains a highly challenging task. Although there exist many types of delivery vehicles, peptides and peptide conjugates have received continuously increasing interest as molecular blocks to create a great diversity of supramolecular nanostructures and hydrogels for the effective delivery of biologics, due to their inherent biocompatibility, tunable biodegradability, and responsiveness to various biological stimuli. In this context, we discuss the design principles of supramolecular hydrogels using small molecule peptides and peptide conjugates as molecular building units, and review the recent effort in using these materials for protein delivery and gene delivery.
