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

Macrocyclic peptides make up a unique class of modalities known for their high affinity, specificity, and ability to modulate protein-protein interactions, including receptor activation. Messenger RNA display, including the Random Nonstandard Peptides Integrated Discovery (RaPID) system, stands out in identifying target-specific macrocyclic peptides, producing potent binders with low to subnanomolar dissociation constants against diverse targets. It has often been discussed that this success is partly attributed to the vast library of over a trillion different peptide sequences expressed from the corresponding mRNA sequences. However, the impact of library scales on the identification of various binders has not been experimentally validated. Here, we report the RaPID selections against an ectodomain of a receptor tyrosine kinase MET using peptide libraries ranging from 10
