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

Collagen provides mechanical and biological support for virtually all human tissues in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Its defining molecular structure, the triple-helix, could be damaged and denatured in disease and injuries. To probe collagen damage, the concept of collagen hybridization has been proposed, revised, and validated through a series of investigations reported as early as 1973: a collagen-mimicking peptide strand may form a hybrid triple-helix with the denatured chains of natural collagen but not the intact triple-helical collagen proteins, enabling assessment of proteolytic degradation or mechanical disruption to collagen within a tissue-of-interest. Here we describe the concept and development of collagen hybridization, summarize the decades of chemical investigations on rules underlying the collagen triple-helix folding, and discuss the growing biomedical evidence on collagen denaturation as a previously overlooked ECM signature for an array of conditions involving pathological tissue remodeling and mechanical injuries. Finally, we propose a series of emerging questions regarding the chemical and biological nature of collagen denaturation and highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities from its targeting.
