Close correlation between thiolate basicity and certain NMR parameters in cysteine and cystine microspecies.
Article in PloS one, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The imbalance between prooxidants and antioxidants in biological systems, known as oxidative stress, can lead to a disruption of redox signaling by the reactive oxygen/nitrogen species and is related to severe diseases. The most vulnerable moiety targeted by oxidant species in the redox signaling pathways is the thiol (SH) group in the cysteine residues, especially in its deprotonated (S-) form. Cysteine, along with its oxidized, disulfide-containing form, cystine, constitute one of the most abundant low molecular weight biological redox couples, providing a significant contribution to the redox homeostasis in living systems. In this work, NMR spectra from cysteine, cystine, and cysteine-containing small peptides were thoroughly studied at the submolecular level, and through the chemical shift data set of their certain atoms it is possible to estimate either thiolate basicity or the also related standard redox potential. Regression analysis demonstrated a strong linear relationship for chemical shift vs thiolate logK of the cysteine microspecies data. The αCH 13C chemical shift is the most promising estimator of the acid-base and redox character.
