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

Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a prominent risk factor for developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which is presumably triggered by abnormal binding between the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin-type 9 (PCSK9) and low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLR). Enlicitide is a PCSK9 inhibitor with an unusual structure and tremendous potential for the treatment of ASCVD. This bioactive tricyclic peptide provides an interesting structural motif for exploring medicinal chemistry studies and developing more orally administered peptide therapeutics with potent hypolipidemic abilities. Herein, we report two efficient and robust preparation processes that enable the total synthesis of enlicitide, including a fully solution-phase synthetic strategy and a hybrid solution-solid-phase strategy. Critically, the combination of Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and solution-phase ring-closing reactions enables the time-effective preparation of enlicitide, paving the way for its structural diversification and the further development of enlicitide-based medications.
