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

EP2 is a G protein-coupled receptor for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) derived from cell membrane-released arachidonic acid upon various harmful and injurious stimuli. It is commomly upregulated in tumors and injured brain tissues, as its activation by PGE2 is widely believed to be involved in the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these conditions via promoting pro-inflammatory reactions. Herein, we report the discovery of two novel macrocyclic peptidomimetics based on the screening of a cyclic γ-AApeptides combinatorial library. These two cyclic γ-AApeptides showed excellent binding affinity with the EP2 protein, and they may lead to the development of novel therapeutic agents and/or molecular probes to modulate the PGE2/EP2 signaling.
