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 research has increased during the last years due to their applications as biomarkers, therapeutic alternatives or as antigenic sub-units in vaccines. The implementation of computational resources have facilitated the identification of novel sequences, the prediction of properties, and the modelling of structures. However, there is still a lack of open source protocols that enable their straightforward analysis. Here, we present PepFun, a compilation of bioinformatics and cheminformatics functionalities that are easy to implement and customize for studying peptides at different levels: sequence, structure and their interactions with proteins. PepFun enables calculating multiple characteristics for massive sets of peptide sequences, and obtaining different structural observables derived from protein-peptide complexes. In addition, random or guided library design of peptide sequences can be customized for screening campaigns. The package has been created under the python language based on built-in functions and methods available in the open source projects BioPython and RDKit. We present two tutorials where we tested peptide binders of the MHC class II and the Granzyme B protease.
