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

We have shown that de novo designed peptides self-assemble in the presence of copper to create supramolecular assemblies capable of carrying out the oxidation of a range of neurotransmitters in the presence of dioxygen and hydrogen peroxide with high efficiency and in a sequence dependent manner. Moreover, these catalytic peptide assemblies are capable of templating melanin production. Guided by the structure activity relationships identified using the model systems we discovered that peptide assemblies formed by fragments of human carbonic anhydrase VII found in the brain also promote neurotransmitter degradation, supporting its role in neurodegenerative disease. Altogether, our results further support the role of metal-promoted catalysis in neurodegenerative disease and will facilitate development of new catalyst nanomaterials capable of promoting oxidative transformation.
