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

A revolution in peptide production arrived from the innovation of carboxylate to amine C- to N-direction solid-phase synthesis. This cornerstone of modern peptide science has enabled multiple academic and industrial applications; however, the process of C- to N-solid phase peptide synthesis (C-N-SPPS) has extreme process mass intensity and poor atom economy. Notably, C-N-SPPS relies upon the use of atom-intensive protecting groups, such as the fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) protection and wasteful excess of protected amino acids and coupling agents. On the other hand, peptide synthesis in the amine to carboxylate N- to C-direction offers potential to minimize protection and may arguably enable more efficient means for manufacturing peptides. For example, efficient amide bond formation in the N- to C-direction has been accomplished using methods employing thioesters, vinyl esters, and transamidation to achieve peptide synthesis with minimal epimerization. This review aims to provide an overview of N- to C-peptide synthesis indicating advantages in taking this avenue for sustainable peptide production.
