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

Lasso peptides are a large and sequence-diverse class of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP) natural products characterized by their slip knot-like shape. These unique, highly stable peptides are produced by bacteria for various purposes. Their stability and sequence diversity make them a potentially useful scaffold for biomedically relevant folded peptides. However, many questions remain about lasso peptide biosynthesis, ecological function, and diversification potential for biomedical and agricultural applications. This review discusses new insights and open questions about lasso peptide biosynthesis and biological function. The role that genome mining has played in the development of new methodologies for discovering and diversifying lasso peptides is also discussed.
