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

Protein cages hold much promise as carrier systems in nanomedicine, due to their well-defined size, cargo-loading capacity, and inherent biodegradability. In order to make them suitable for drug delivery, they have to be stable under physiological conditions. In addition, often surface modifications are required, for example, to improve cell targeting or reduce the particle immunogenicity by PEGylation. For this purpose, we investigated the functionalization capacity of the capsid of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV), modified at the interior with a stabilizing elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) tag, by employing a combination of protein engineering and bio-orthogonal chemistry. We first demonstrated the accessibility of the native cysteine residue in ELP-CCMV as a site-selective surface-exposed functional handle, which was not available in the native CCMV capsid. An additional bio-orthogonal functional handle was introduced by incorporation of the noncanonical amino acid, azido-phenylalanine (AzF), using the amber suppression mechanism. Dual site-selective presentation of both a cell-penetrating TAT peptide and a fluorophore to track the particles was demonstrated successfully in HeLa cell uptake studies.
