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

Multiple studies have demonstrated the benefit of engineering hybrid ligands that combine the unique benefits of small molecules and proteins or peptides. However, the molecular complexity of hybrid ligands generates a parameter space so large it cannot be exhaustively explored. We systematically evaluated the impact of one molecular design element, conjugation site, on the discovery of functional protein-small molecule hybrids (PriSMs). We utilized a library of yeast-displayed fibronectin domain variants with amino acid and loop length diversity in the paratope and a single cysteine at one of 18 possible conjugation sites. The protein variants were coupled with maleimide-functionalized acetazolamide and sorted via competitive flow cytometry to discover potent and selective inhibitors of three isoforms of carbonic anhydrase. Deep sequencing of the resultant populations of functional PriSMs revealed an isoform-dependent distribution of conjugation site preferences. The top PriSMs showed potency and selectivity gains up to 23- and 100-fold (in this case, for CA-II vs CA-XII, with a 43-fold selectivity gain for CA-II vs CA-IX) relative to PEG
