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

Many of the newly discovered therapeutic peptides and molecules are limited by their inability to cross the cell membrane. In the present study we employed a cell penetrating peptide (CPP), VPTLK, derived from Ku70 protein, to facilitate the entry of a mini-chaperone across the cell membrane. Our previous studies suggest that the mini-chaperone peptide representing the chaperone site in αA-crystallin, which can inhibit protein aggregation associated with proteopathies, has therapeutic potential. We have prepared a synthetic mini-chaperone by fusing the VPTLK sequence to N-terminus of mini-chaperone (FVIFLDVKHFSPEDLTVKGRD) to get VPTLKFVIFLDVKHFSPEDLTVKGRD peptide, which we call "CPPGRD." The amino acids, GRD, were added to increase the solubility of the peptide. The chaperone-like function of CPPGRD was measured using unfolding conditions for alcohol dehydrogenase and α-lactalbumin. The anti-apoptotic action of the peptide chaperone was evaluated using H
