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

Despite their pivotal role in defining antibody affinity and protein function, β-hairpins harboring long noncanonical loops remain synthetically challenging because of the large entropic penalty associated with their conformational folding. Little is known about the contribution and impact of stabilizing motifs on the folding of β-hairpins with loops of variable length and plasticity. Here, we report a design of minimalist β-straps (strap = strand + cap) that offset the entropic cost of long-loop folding. The judicious positioning of noncovalent interactions (hydrophobic cluster and salt-bridge) within the novel 8-mer β-strap design RW(V/H)W···WVWE stabilizes hairpins with up to 10-residue loops of varying degrees of plasticity (
