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

Peptides are able to bind to difficult disease targets with high potency and specificity, providing great opportunities to meet unmet medical requirements. Nevertheless, the unique features of peptides, such as their small size, high structural flexibility, and scarce data availability, bring extra challenges to the design process. Firstly, this review sums up the application of peptide drugs in treating diseases. Then, the review probes into the advantages of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) in predicting and designing peptide structures. DNNs have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in structural prediction, enabling accurate three-dimensional modeling of peptide drugs through models like AlphaFold and its successors. Finally, the review deliberates on the challenges and coping strategies of DNNs in the development of peptide drugs, along with future research directions. Future research directions focus on further improving the accuracy and efficiency of DNN-based peptide drug design, exploring novel applications of peptide drugs, and accelerating their clinical translation. With continuous advancements in technology and data accumulation, DNNs are poised to play an increasingly crucial role in the field of peptide drug development.
