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

Peptide nanonets offer a promising avenue for constructing anti-infective biomaterials. Our group recently reported innovative designs of synthetic BTT nanonets that fibrillate selectively in response to bacterial endotoxins. Herein, we delved deeper into the molecular interactions between our peptides and these bacteria-specific biomolecules, which is an aspect critically missing from major works in the field. Using microscopic and biophysical techniques, we identified phosphate moieties in endotoxins as being the most essential to the initiation of peptide fibrillation. This was strongly supported by molecular dynamics simulations in an outer membrane environment with variable states of phosphorylation. To support the claim over bacterial specificity, we demonstrated a lack of nanonet formation in the presence of various phosphate-containing biomolecules native to human biology. The structural importance of phosphate moieties among pathogenic strains strongly indicates a wide clinical spectrum of our peptides, which was experimentally verified.
