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

In vitro evolution strategies have been used for >30 years to generate nucleic acid aptamers against therapeutic targets of interest, including disease-associated proteins. However, this process requires many iterative cycles of selection and amplification, which severely restricts the number of target and library design combinations that can be explored in parallel. Here, we describe a single-round screening approach to aptamer discovery that relies on function-enhancing chemotypes to increase the distribution of high-affinity sequences in a random-sequence library. We demonstrate the success of de novo discovery by affinity selection of threomers against the receptor binding domain of the S1 protein from SARS-CoV-2. Detailed biochemical characterization of the enriched population identified threomers with binding affinity values that are comparable to aptamers produced by conventional SELEX. This work establishes a highly parallelizable path for querying diverse chemical repertoires and may offer a viable route for accelerating the discovery of therapeutic aptamers.
