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

Peptides constrained by intramolecular cross-links, especially stapled α-helices, have emerged as versatile scaffolds for drug development. However, there are fewer examples of similarly constrained scaffolds for other secondary structures. Here, we used a novel computational strategy to identify an optimal staple for antiparallel β-strands, and then we incorporated that staple within a β-hairpin peptide. The hairpin uses 4-mercaptoproline as a novel staple component, which contributes to a unique, kinked structure. The stapled hairpins show a high degree of structure in aqueous solution, excellent resistance to degradation in cell lysates, and cytosolic penetration at micromolar concentrations. They also overlay with a unique subset of kinked hairpin motifs at protein-protein interaction interfaces. Thus, these scaffolds represent promising starting points for developing inhibitors of cellular protein-protein interactions.
