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

Peptides have historically been underutilized for covalent inhibitor discovery, despite their unique abilities to interact with protein surfaces and interfaces. This is in part due to a lack of methods for screening and identifying covalent peptide ligands. Here, we report a method to identify covalent cyclic peptide inhibitors in mRNA display. We combine co- and post-translational library diversification strategies to create cyclic libraries with reactive dehydroalanines (Dhas), which we employ in selections against two model targets. The most potent hits exhibit low nanomolar inhibitory activities and disrupt known protein-protein interactions with their selected targets. Overall, we establish Dhas as electrophiles for covalent inhibition and showcase how separate library diversification methods can work synergistically to dispose mRNA display to novel applications like covalent inhibitor discovery.
