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

objectivesTo design and synthesize peptide inhibitors targeting transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) ion channel, and to validate their function.

methodsBased on previous studies on the relation of molecular structure and function of red head toxin (RhTx), a series of peptides were rationally designed and synthesized, with positive charged amino acids linked to the N terminus of RhTx. These Nplus-RhTx peptides were functionally validated by patch-clamp recordings in live cells.

resultsAmong the 8 synthesized Nplus-RhTx peptides, four inhibited TRPV1 ion channel activated by capsaicin with IC

conclusionsIt is feasible to develop TRPV1 peptide inhibitors by using rational design based on N terminal residues of RhTx.
