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

Peptide amphiphiles are a class of molecules that can self-assemble into a variety of supramolecular structures, including high-aspect-ratio nanofibers. It is challenging to model and predict the charges in these supramolecular nanofibers because the ionization state of the peptides are not fixed but liable to change due to the acid-base equilibrium that is coupled to the structural organization of the peptide amphiphile molecules. Here, we have developed a theoretical model to describe and predict the amount of charge found on self-assembled peptide amphiphiles as a function of pH and ion concentration. In particular, we computed the amount of charge of peptide amphiphiles nanofibers with the sequence
