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

The ability to conjugate multiple molecules to a protein is of great interest for pharmaceutical and vaccine development, especially if this can be achieved in a one-pot procedure. Multicomponent reactions are powerful procedures that allow the assembly of complex constructs incorporating at least three molecular fragments, but many of them use amino and carboxylic groups that are too abundant in proteins. Herein, we introduce the use of the Passerini 3-component reaction with isocyanoproteins for the assembly of multivalent protein (glyco)conjugates. Proteins were tagged with isocyanide handles and next derivatized to investigate the efficacy and limitations of the Passerini bioconjugation. The multicomponent conjugation enabled the simultaneous functionalization of proteins with two biologically relevant molecules such as carbohydrate antigens, lipids, and polymers. The efficient display of various antigens in a unimolecular multivalent construct is a notable result that paves the way towards new applications in preventive vaccines and therapeutics.
