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

Peptide and peptide-like structures are regaining attention in drug discovery. Previous studies suggest that bioactive peptides have diverse structures and may have physicochemical properties attractive to become hit and lead compounds. However, chemoinformatic studies that characterize such diversity are limited. Herein, we report the physicochemical property profile and chemical space of four synthetic linear and cyclic combinatorial peptide libraries. As a case study, the analysis was focused on penta-peptides. The chemical space of the peptide and N-methylated peptides libraries was compared to compound data sets of pharmaceutical relevance. Results indicated that there is a major overlap in the chemical space of N-methylated cyclic peptides with inhibitors of protein-protein interactions and macrocyclic natural products available for screening. Also, there is an overlap between the chemical space of the synthetic peptides with peptides approved for clinical use (or in clinical trials), and to other approved drugs that are outside the traditional chemical space. Results further support that synthetic penta-peptides are suitable compounds to be used in drug discovery projects.
