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

RNA targeting represents a compelling strategy for addressing challenging therapeutic targets that are otherwise intractable through traditional protein targeting. Revolutionary approaches in RNA-focused small molecule libraries have successfully identified RNA-binding ligands but generally remain limited in diversity and impeded by a dearth of structural insight into RNA and RNA complexes. Cyclic peptides are potential structural mimics of evolutionary RNA-protein interacting motifs and can be massively diversified and selected via genetically encoded libraries, offering a complementary approach. This study introduces genetically encoded thioether cyclic peptide libraries constructed through mRNA display using a dibromoxylene linker and its fluorosulfonyl derivative that can covalently engage RNA nucleophiles. Using an optimized mRNA display workflow for RNA binders, we discovered high affinity, covalent and noncovalent binders for
