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

Site-specific conjugation to cysteines of proteins often uses ester groups to link maleimide or alkene groups to polymers. However, the ester group is susceptible to hydrolysis, potentially losing the benefits gained through bioconjugation. Here, we present a simple conjugation strategy that utilizes the amide bond stability of traditional 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide coupling while introducing site specificity. Hydrolytically stable maleimide-end-functionalized polymers for site-specific conjugation to free cysteines of proteins were synthesized using reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The alpha terminus of the polymers was amidated with a furan-protected aminoethyl maleimide using carbodiimide-based chemistry. Finally, the maleimide was exposed by a retro Diels-Alder reaction to yield the maleimide group, allowing for thiol-maleimide click chemistry for bioconjugation. A thermophilic cellulase from
