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

(1) Autophagy plays a significant role in development and cell proliferation. This process is mainly accomplished by the LC3 protein, which, after maturation, builds the nascent autophagosomes. The inhibition of LC3 maturation results in the interference of autophagy activation. (2) In this study, starting from the structure of a known LC3B binder (LIR2-RavZ peptide), we identified new LC3B ligands by applying an in silico drug design strategy. The most promising peptides were synthesized, biophysically assayed, and biologically evaluated to ascertain their potential antiproliferative activity on five humans cell lines. (3) A cyclic peptide (named Pep6), endowed with high conformational stability (due to the presence of a disulfide bridge), displayed a K
