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

The ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP) superfamily of natural products includes many examples of cyclic peptides with diverse macrocyclization chemistries. The graspetides, one family of macrocyclized RiPPs, harbor side chain-side chain ester or amide linkages. We recently reported the structure and biosynthesis of the graspetide pre-fuscimiditide, a 22-amino-acid (aa) peptide with two ester cross-links forming a stem-loop structure. These cross-links are introduced by a single graspetide synthetase, the ATP-grasp enzyme ThfB. Here we show that ThfB can also catalyze the formation of amide or thioester cross-links in prefuscimiditide, with thioester formation being especially efficient. We further show that upon proteolysis to reveal an N-terminal cysteine residue, the thioester-linked peptide rapidly and quantitatively rearranges via native chemical ligation into an isopeptide-bonded head-to-tail cyclic peptide. The solution structure of this rearranged peptide was determined by using 2D NMR spectroscopy experiments. Our methodology offers a straightforward recombinant route to head-to-tail cyclic peptides.
