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

Spacer length is a key molecular parameter governing the self-assembly of short peptides. Here, we investigate isoleucine-cysteine-alanine (ICA) tripeptides containing carbon spacers of 6, 3, or 0 methylene units linking the peptide backbone to a hydrophobic naphthalene (Nap) π-block. Using complementary spectroscopic and microscopic techniques, we show that spacer length controls the balance between conformational flexibility and directional non-covalent interactions, thereby dictating assembly pathways and material properties. The results establish a correlation between spacer length and assembly propensity, with the longest spacer (C
