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 ability to introduce non-canonical amino acids into peptides and proteins is facilitated by working within in vitro translation systems. Non-canonical amino acids can be introduced into these systems using sense codon reprogramming, stop codon suppression, and by breaking codon degeneracy. Here, we review how these techniques have been used to create proteins with novel properties and how they facilitate sophisticated studies of protein function. We also discuss how researchers are using in vitro translation experiments with non-canonical amino acids to explore the tolerance of the translation apparatus to artificial building blocks. Finally, we give several examples of how non-canonical amino acids can be combined with mRNA-displayed peptide libraries for the creation of protease-stable, macrocyclic peptide libraries for ligand discovery.
