Chiral Glass Formation by Dipeptide Salts.
Article in Biomacromolecules, 2026. 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
A simple dipeptide WR (tryptophan-arginine) in the form of salts with organic acids tartaric acid or crotonic acid is shown to form glasses through a benign preparation route by evaporation of aqueous solution. The glasses have a remarkable range of properties including moldability, high transparency across a broad range of wavelengths, and fluorescence. The glasses show self-healing and adhesive properties, and have accessible glass transition temperatures. The glasses are shown to be amorphous via small-angle and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Remarkably, the glasses are found to have a chiral structure, as shown by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Investigation of glass precursor dipeptide salt solutions shows that the glasses form from an initial unordered solution containing chiral peptide molecules. The diverse properties of the dipeptide glass materials points to a wide range of potential future applications.
