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

Sulfono-γ-AApeptides recently developed in our group have been proven to be a new class of unnatural foldamer with well-defined helical structure and have been demonstrated to mimic protein helical domains and disrupt biomedically relevant protein-protein interactions (PPIs). Based on our design concept in a recent report, we discovered two similar sulfono-γ-AApeptides V2 and V3 which were designed to mimic the VEGF N-terminal helix α1 known to directly interact with VEGFRs. Interestingly, V2 was shown to possess the pro-angiogenic effect, whereas V3 was proved to be a potent inhibitor for angiogenesis. We speculate that the distinct angiogenesis signaling was due to the selective binding of the two molecules to VEGFR1 and VEGFR2, respectively. Together with their remarkable resistance to proteolytic degradation, relatively small sizes, and amenability to modification with diverse functional groups, V2 and V3 could serve as lead molecules for the development of potential therapeutic agents and molecular probes. These findings highlight sulfono-γ-AApeptides as an alternative paradigm to mimic the α-helical domain to modulate a wide variety of PPIs in the future.
