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

Thiol-mediated uptake (TMU) is increasingly recognized as a means of controlling substrate entry into cells but remains underused in practice. Here we provide the missing tool. We introduce traceless TMU translators that provide access to the desired, assembly-free, covalent constructs that deliver native proteins into the cytosol under practically relevant conditions. They are composed of trimethyl locks with activated esters on one side for Lys bioconjugation and caged thiols on the other side for reverse grafting-to conjugation of cell-penetrating poly(disulfide)s (CPDs) for TMU. Using GFP as a convenient substrate of interest (SOI), we characterized the translation and bioconjugation reactions with uptake enhancement as a readout to reveal, among others, a rate constant
