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

Recent clinical trials have revealed that the chimeric peptide hormones simultaneously activating glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) demonstrate superior efficacy in glycemic control and body weight reduction, better than those activating the GLP-1R alone. However, the linear peptide-based GLP-1R/GIPR dual agonists are susceptible to proteolytic cleavage by common digestive enzymes present in the gastrointestinal tract and thus not suitable for oral administration. Here, we report the design and synthesis of biaryl-stapled peptides, with and without fatty diacid attachment, that showed potent GLP-1R/GIPR dual agonist activities. Compared to a linear peptide dual agonist and semaglutide, the biaryl-stapled peptides displayed drastically improved proteolytic stability against the common digestive enzymes. Furthermore, two stapled peptides showed excellent efficacy in an oral glucose tolerance test in mice, owing to their potent receptor activity in vitro and good pharmacokinetics exposure upon subcutaneous injection. By exploring a more comprehensive set of biaryl staplers, we expect that this stapling method could facilitate the design of the stapled peptide-based dual agonists suitable for oral administration.
