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 is foundational to cyclic peptide-based ligand discovery, and recently genetically encoded electrophilic noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) have proven useful in constructing phage-displayed cyclic peptide libraries via proximity-induced crosslinking. However, electrophilic ncAAs exploited for this purpose remain quite rare, thus impeding the broad application of this emerging technology. Herein, we design and genetically encode propiolamide-bearing ncAAs into proteins and demonstrate the capability of propiolamide warhead in conjugating to proximal Cys via a stable and rigid vinyl sulfide connectivity. Importantly, the encoded propiolamide warhead could be facilely displayed on phage surface and support large recombinant library construction. Via biopanning, cyclic peptide-based inhibitor targeting SARS-CoV-2 main protease was discovered.
