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

Given the extracellular matrix (ECM) essential role in tissue development, maintenance, and repair, exploiting its glycan structures offers new opportunities for dynamic drug storage and targeted delivery of peptides via injectable solutions. This study investigates the reversible, pH-driven interaction between boronic acid-functionalized compounds and diol-rich glycans within cell-derived decellularized extracellular matrices (CDMs). An N-terminally functionalized model peptide was produced using carboxy-phenyl-boronic acid (CPBA), and its pH-dependent binding to the diol-rich structures of CDMs was demonstrated. A CPBA-conjugated myostatin inhibitor maintained its full potency as a prerequisite for future therapeutic application. The findings suggest N-terminally boronic acid-modified peptides as drug candidates for targeted delivery and storage to diol-rich glycans of the natural ECM.
