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

Mechanically interlocked peptides (MIPs) possess exceptional biological stability, making them promising scaffolds for therapeutic development. However, despite advances in biological and chemical synthesis, their accessible chemical space remains limited. In particular, practical methodologies and rational design principles for mechanically interlocking and stabilizing conventional linear peptides are still underdeveloped. Here, we present a robust strategy for peptide interlocking and stabilization using active-template Cu-(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (AT-CuAAC). Through systematic exploration of amino acid side chains, macrocycle size, peptide length, and reaction conditions, we established design guidelines and constructed a diverse library of interlocked short peptides. This approach was further applied to longer peptide sequence, [Y]
