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

Peptide amphiphiles can form fibrillar and amorphous structures. While fibrillar assemblies have previously been shown to enhance viral infectivity or retroviral transduction for gene delivery, we now elucidate the mechanism behind amorphous peptide amphiphiles that promote virus-cell interactions. Using electron microscopy, we reveal that amorphous fragments of polyunsaturated peptide amphiphiles allow for more VLPs to bind directly to the plasma membrane, explaining previously observed efficient viral entry and superior biodegradation compared to state-of-the-art adjuvants. We believe our work highlights the potential of unsaturated fatty acid peptide hybrid materials for clinical applications.
