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 scope of proteins accessible to total chemical synthesis via native chemical ligation (NCL) is often limited by slow ligation kinetics. Here we describe Click-Assisted NCL (CAN), in which peptides are incorporated with traceless "helping hand" lysine linkers that enable addition of dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) and azide handles. The resulting strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) increases their effective concentration to greatly accelerate ligations. We demonstrate that copper(I) protects DBCO from acid-mediated rearrangement during acidic peptide cleavage, enabling direct production of DBCO synthetic peptides. Excitingly, triazole-linked model peptides ligated rapidly and accumulated little side product due to the fast reaction time. Using the
