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

The secondary structure plays a crucial role in the biological activity of peptides. Various strategies have been developed to stabilize particular peptide conformations, including sequence modifications and macrocyclization approaches. Often, the interplay between conformational constraint and flexibility is central to bioactivity. Here, we investigate how peptide α-helicity influences enzymatic head-to-tail cyclization using an engineered Sortase. We show that peptides with low helicity readily undergo intramolecular cyclization, while more rigid, helical peptides exhibit complex cyclization behaviors including cyclic dimer formation. These findings reveal that increased peptide rigidity can redirect enzymatic reactions from intramolecular to intermolecular processes, and demonstrates how changes in molecular rigidity can guide chemical reactivity. These insights can advance the design of peptide-derived materials, hydrogels, and stimuli-responsive probes.
