Synthetic Proteins behind the Plasma Barrier: Molecular Spies.
Article in Accounts of chemical research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
There is a continuous demand to improve our understanding of fundamental processes that underlie human health and disease. Therefore, novel strategies that can assist in these efforts are required. For example, molecular biology and genetic approaches have revolutionized our understanding of protein-mediated processes by facilitating their direct visualization and analyses in living cells. Despite these developments, genetic manipulation has limitations in controlling events that occur after translation such as posttranslational modifications (PTMs), which are imperative regulatory elements. As a result, developing new methods to study PTMs in live cells is a major bottleneck in deciphering their exact roles in the myriad cellular processes.Synthetic and semisynthetic proteins are prepared by combining solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and chemoselective ligation approaches with synthetic or recombinant peptides. Employing protein synthesis allows chemists to incorporate natural and unnatural modifications with virtually unlimited number of functional groups into the protein's sequence, such as PTMs and their mimics. In addition, synthetic proteins can include additional elements such as fluorescent tags, reactive groups, caged units, and enrichment handles. Therefore, harnessing the power of chemical protein synthesis offers great opportunities to study fundamental biological processes.Unfortunately, the low cell permeability of proteins limits their applications mainly to
