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

Kinases are pivotal cell signaling regulators and prominent drug targets. Short peptide substrates are widely used in kinase activity assays essential for investigating kinase biology and drug discovery. However, designing substrates with high activity and specificity remains challenging. Here, we present Subtimizer (substrate optimizer), a streamlined computational pipeline for structure-guided kinase peptide substrate design using AlphaFold-Multimer for structure modeling, ProteinMPNN for sequence design, and AlphaFold2-based interface evaluation. Applied to five kinases, four showed substantially improved activity (up to 350%) with designed peptides. Kinetic analyses revealed >2-fold reductions in Michaelis constant (K
