Structure of Keratin.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Keratins, as a group of insoluble and filament-forming proteins, mainly exist in certain epithelial cells of vertebrates. Keratinous materials are made up of cells filled with keratins, while they are the toughest biological materials such as the human hair, wool and horns of mammals and feathers, claws, and beaks of birds and reptiles which usually used for protection, defense, hunting and as armor. They generally exhibit a sophisticated hierarchical structure ranging from nanoscale to centimeter-scale: polypeptide chain structures, intermediated filaments/matrix structures, and lamellar structures. Therefore, more and more attention has been paid to the investigation of the relationship between structure and properties of keratins, and a series of biomimetic materials based on keratin came into being. In this chapter, we mainly introduce the hierarchical structure, the secondary structure, and the molecular structure of keratins, including α- and β-keratin, to promote the development of novel keratin-based biomimetic materials designs.
