Understanding Polysulfide-Mediated Papain Inhibition and Differentiating between Disulfide vs Persulfide Formation.
Article in ACS chemical biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Protein cysteine residues are sensitive to redox-regulating molecules, including reactive sulfur species (RSS). As an important member of the RSS family, polysulfides are known to react with protein cysteines to form persulfides and disulfides, both affecting protein functions. In this work, we studied how polysulfides could impact cysteine proteases through careful mechanistic and kinetic studies. The model protein papain was treated with different polysulfides to elucidate the efficacy of polysulfides as inhibitors for this protein. We also explored the effects of different reductants that could regenerate papain activity after polysulfide-mediated inhibition. A triarylphosphine reagent, TXPTS, was found to be efficient in differentiating between papain persulfidation and disulfide formation.
