Development of Interdisciplinary SynZyme CURE: A Bridge between Organic Synthesis, Protein Biochemistry, and Drug Discovery.
Article in Journal of chemical education, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The SynZyme Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) was developed to immerse students in an interdisciplinary semester-long project integrating organic synthesis and enzyme biochemistry within the context of early stage drug development. Embedded within a bioinstrumental chemistry course, this CURE also emphasizes the practical use of instrumentation in chemical and biochemical research. Eight undergraduate students synthesized a series of five novel triazole-based compounds and performed detailed molecular characterization to confirm purity and identity. Students then performed ADMET analysis and molecular docking before evaluating the inhibitory activity of the compounds against two target bacterial protein tyrosine phosphatases. Student Assessment of their Learning Gains (SALG), along with the Undergraduate Research Student Self-Assessment (URSSA) instrument, was used to evaluate the gains and experiences of the participants. Data revealed increased confidence in conducting independent research and contributing meaningfully to a research project. It also highlights the potential to promote a deeper understanding, skill development, and research competency among undergraduate students. Overall, the SynZyme CURE demonstrates the effectiveness of course-based research in fostering scientific identity, strengthening interdisciplinary literacy, and preparing undergraduates for real-world research environments.
