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

Phage display of macrocyclic peptide libraries has proven highly effective for ligand discovery, yet the impact of target immobilization and structural integrity on selection outcomes has not been systematically examined. Using the ZNRF3 ectodomain as a model, we incorporated p-azidophenylalanine (AzF) at three phenylalanine residues with distinct solvent exposures (F217, F85, F156) to enable selective perturbation of the protein's structure via site-specific strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) immobilization. Biochemical evaluation of the mutants confirmed efficient conjugation and structural disruption of the protein, with the F156AzF mutant displaying the most significant reduction in activity. Phage selections using a CX
