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

Self-assembled peptides are promising templates for the design of inhibitors of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) because they can be endowed with affinity- and selectivity-defining amino acids alongside favorable physicochemical properties such as solubility and stability. Here, we describe a tunable coiled-coil scaffold and its interaction with MCL-1, an α-helix-binding antiapoptotic protein and important target in oncology. We explore the role of oligomerization, multivalency, and cooperativity in PPI inhibition. Hot-spot residues from an MCL-1 binding peptide (NOXA-B) are grafted onto the outer surfaces of homo- and heterodimeric coiled-coil peptides to obtain inhibitors with mid-nM potency and selectivity over BCL-x
