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

Rational design of specific inhibitors of protein-protein interactions is desirable for drug design to control cellular signal transduction but also for studying protein-protein interaction networks. We have developed a rapid computational approach to rationally design cyclic peptides that potentially bind at desired regions of the interface of protein-protein complexes. The methodology is based on comparing the protein backbone structure of short peptide segments (epitopes) at the protein-protein interface with a collection of cyclic peptide backbone structures. A cyclic peptide that matches the backbone structure of the segment is used as a template for a binder by adapting the amino acid side chains to the side chains found in the target complex. For a small library of cyclic peptides with known high resolution structures we found for the majority (~82%) of 154 protein-protein complexes at least one very well fitting match for a cyclic peptide template to a protein-protein interface segment. The majority of the constructed protein-cyclic peptide complexes was very stable during Molecular Dynamics simulations and showed an interaction energy score that was typically more favorable compared to interaction scores of typical peptide-protein complexes. Our cPEPmatch approach could be a promising approach for rapid suggestion of cyclic peptide binders that could be tested experimentally and further improved by chemical modification.
