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

Tryptophan fulfills a plethora of important functions in nature both in its free form and as a component of peptides and proteins. Selective binding of tryptophan is therefore important for diagnostic and medicinal applications. Recently, we reported a glucose naphtho crown ether which is a chemoselective receptor for the esters of aromatic amino acids, in particular tryptophan, in water. Herein, we demonstrate that the same compound also binds free tryptophan selectively in aqueous media. Furthermore, it is capable of binding to tryptophan within model tripeptides. The naphthalene functionality in the glucose-derived receptor enables the study of guest binding using fluorescence spectroscopy.
