End-to-End Backbone Cyclization Enhances Passive Permeability of bRo5 Oligomeric Depsipeptides with Nonlinear Size Dependence.
Article in ACS medicinal chemistry letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
A majority of drugs are small molecules that satisfy Lipinski's Rule-of-Five (Ro5), but efforts to target topologically complex biomolecular interactions have reignited interest in nonconforming molecular therapeutics, dubbed "beyond Ro5 (bRo5)". Broadly useful design principles for bRo5 molecules are few in number, although several studies have highlighted the benefit to bioavailability and proteolytic stability that can result from the introduction of a constraining ring into conformationally mobile peptides. Here we show that a linear oligomeric depsipeptide (OD) template can be leveraged to link size to permeability, while the corresponding cyclic oligomeric depsipeptide (COD) series is used to determine the impact of cyclization as an added conformational constraint. Unexpectedly, certain macrocycle sizes confer a greater benefit to permeability than others.
