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

Lasso peptides (LaPs), characterized by their entangled slipknot-like structures, are a large class of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), with examples functioning as antibiotics, enzyme inhibitors, and molecular switches. Despite thousands of LaP sequences predicted by bioinformatics, only around 50 distinct LaPs have been structurally characterized in the past 30 years. Existing computational tools, such as AlphaFold2, AlphaFold3 and ESMfold, fail to accurately predict LaP structures due to their irregular scaffold featuring a lariat knot-like fold and the presence of an isopeptide bond. To address this challenge, we developed LassoPred, designed with a classifier to annotate the ring, loop, and tail of an LaP sequence and a constructor to build a 3D structure. Leveraging LassoPred, we predicted 3D structures for 4,749 unique LaP core sequences, creating the largest
