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

Polyproteins, individual protein units joined covalently in tandem, have evolved as a promising tool for measuring the dynamic folding of biomacromolecules in single-molecule force spectroscopy. However, the synthetic routes to prepare polyproteins have been a bottleneck, and urge development of in vitro methods to knit individual protein units covalently into polyprotein. Employing two enzymes of orthogonal functionalities periodically in sequence, we synthesized monodispersed polyproteins on a solid surface. We used Sortase A (SrtA), the enzyme known for sequence specific transpeptidation, to staple protein units covalently through peptide bonds. Exploiting the sequence-specific peptide cleaving ability of TEV protease, we controlled the progress of the reaction to one attachment at a time. Finally, with unique design of the unit proteins we control the orientation of proteins in polyprotein. This simple conjugation has the potential to staple proteins with different functionalities and from different expression systems, in any number in the polyprotein and, above all, via irreversible peptide bonds. Multiple chimeric constructs can also be synthesized with interchangeable protein units.
