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

purposeLumican is a major extracellular matrix (ECM) component in the cornea that is upregulated after injury and promotes corneal wound healing. We have recently shown that peptides designed based on the 13 C-terminal amino acids of lumican (LumC13 and LumC13

methodsDifferent peptides staples were rationalized using LumC13

resultsBinding free energies were calculated using MMGBSA algorithm, and peptides LumC13C and LumC13S5 displayed superior binding to ALK5 compared to the non-stapled peptide LumC13

conclusionsHighly stable and non-toxic stapled peptides designed based on LumC13, significantly promote corneal wound healing. As a proof of principle, our data shows that more stable and pharmacologically relevant peptides can be designed based on endogenous peptide sequences for treating various corneal pathologies.
