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

Purpose: Cancer stands as a significant global public health concern, with traditional therapies potentially yielding severe side effects. Peptide-based cancer therapy is increasingly employed for diseases like cancer due to its advantages of excellent targeting, biocompatibility, and convenient synthesis. With advancements in computer technology and bioinformatics, rational design strategies based on computer technology have been employed to develop more cost-effective and potent anticancer peptides (ACPs). This study aims to explore the current status, hotspots, and future trends in the field of computer-aided design of peptides for cancer treatment through a bibliometric analysis. Methods: A total of 1547 relevant publications published from 2006 to 2024 were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using tools like CiteSpace, VOSviewer, Bibliometrix, Origin, and an online bibliometric platform. Results: The research in this field has shown a steady growth trend, with the United States and China making the most significant contributions. Currently, ACP research mainly focuses on cell-penetrating peptides related to drug delivery, which are expected to become future research hotspots. Beyond that, peptide vaccines associated with immunotherapy are also worthy of attention. In addition, molecular dynamics simulation and molecular docking are currently popular research methods. At the same time, deep learning is the emerging keyword, indicating its potential for a more significant impact on future peptide design. Conclusion: Deep learning technology represents emerging research hotspots with immense potential and promising prospects. As cutting-edge research directions, cellularly penetrating peptides and polypeptide immunotherapy are expected to achieve breakthroughs in cancer treatment. This study provides valuable insights into the computer-aided design of peptides in cancer therapy, contributing significantly to advancing the in-depth research and applications in this area.
