Plastic-binding peptides as anchors for protein scaffolds on synthetic plastics: opportunities and challenges.
Article in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Non-biodegradable synthetic plastics are accumulating in the environment and current recycling methods are limited by harsh processing conditions and inferior quality of recycled products. While biological approaches to plastic degradation offer promise, available enzymes remain inefficient at degrading synthetic plastics due to their inherent physical and chemical properties. Inspired by nature's strategies for degrading resistant natural polymers like cellulose and chitin with enzyme complexes co-localized to polymer surfaces, we quantitatively evaluated a range of previously reported plastic-binding peptides (PBPs) for their capacity to anchor soluble proteins specifically to polystyrene and polypropylene. Among the PBPs tested, LCIM3 demonstrated better specificity when compared to other peptides, binding to polystyrene and polypropylene with an apparent dissociation constant (
