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

A small series of copoly(α,l-glutamic acid/dl-allylglycine)s with the same chain length and allylglycine content (∼10 mol %) but different spatial distribution of allylglycine units was synthesized and subsequently glycosylated via thiol-ene chemistry. Dilute aqueous copolypeptide solutions (0.1 wt %, physiological saline) were analyzed by circular dichroism spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. The copolypeptides adopted a random coil or α-helix conformation, depending on solution pH, and the glycosylated residues either distorted or enhanced the folding into an α-helix depending on their location and spatial distribution along the chain. However, regardless of their secondary structure and degree of charging, all partially glycosylated copolypeptides self-assembled into 3D spherical structures, supposedly driven by a hydrophilic effect promoting microphase separation into glucose-rich and glutamate-rich domains.
