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

G-protein-coupled receptors associate into dimers/oligomers whose function is not well understood. One approach to investigate this issue is to challenge oligomerization by peptides replicating transmembrane domains and to study their effect on receptor functionality. The disruptor peptides are typically delivered by means of cell-penetrating vectors such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transcription trans-activation protein Tat. In this paper we report a cyclic, Tat-like peptide that significantly improves its linear analogue in targeting interreceptor sequences in the transmembrane space. The same cyclic Tat-like vector fused to a transmembrane region not involved in receptor oligomerization was totally ineffective. Besides higher efficacy, the cyclic version has enhanced proteolytic stability, as shown by trypsin digestion experiments.
