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

The fragment-centric design promises a means to develop complex xenobiotic protein surface mimetics, but it is challenging to find locally biomimetic structures. To address this issue, foldameric local surface mimetic (LSM) libraries were constructed. Protein affinity patterns, ligand promiscuity and protein druggability were evaluated using pull-down data for targets with various interaction tendencies and levels of homology. LSM probes based on H14 helices exhibited sufficient binding affinities for the detection of both orthosteric and non-orthosteric spots, and overall binding tendencies correlated with the magnitude of the target interactome. Binding was driven by two proteinogenic side chains and LSM probes could distinguish structurally similar proteins with different functions, indicating limited promiscuity. Binding patterns displayed similar side chain enrichment values to those for native protein-protein interfaces implying locally biomimetic behavior. These analyses suggest that in a fragment-centric approach foldameric LSMs can serve as useful probes and building blocks for undruggable protein interfaces.
