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 display approaches, in which peptide epitopes of known binding activities are grafted onto stable protein scaffolds, have been developed to constrain the peptide in its bioactive conformation and to enhance its stability. However, peptide grafting can be a lengthy process requiring extensive computational modeling and/or optimisation by directed evolution techniques. In this study, we show that ultra-stable consensus-designed tetratricopeptide repeat (CTPR) proteins are amenable to the grafting of peptides that bind the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) onto the loop between adjacent repeats. We explore simple strategies to optimize the grafting process and show that modest improvements in Keap1-binding affinity can be obtained by changing the composition of the linker sequence flanking either side of the binding peptide.
