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 secondary and tertiary structure motifs frequently serve as inspiration for the development of protein-protein interaction (PPI) inhibitors. While a wide variety of strategies have been used to stabilize or imitate α-helices, similar strategies for β-sheet stabilization are more limited. Synthetic scaffolds that stabilize reverse turns and cross-strand interactions have provided important insights into β-sheet stability and folding. However, these templates occupy regions of the β-sheet that might impact the β-sheet's ability to bind at a PPI interface. Here, we present the hydrogen bond surrogate (HBS) approach for stabilization of β-hairpin peptides. The HBS linkage replaces a cross-strand hydrogen bond with a covalent linkage, conferring significant conformational and proteolytic resistance. Importantly, this approach introduces the stabilizing linkage in the buried β-sheet interior, retains all side chains for further functionalization, and allows efficient solid-phase macrocyclization. We anticipate that HBS stabilization of PPI β-sheets will enhance the development of β-sheet PPI inhibitors and expand the repertoire of druggable PPIs.
