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

Gasdermin D (GSDMD) is the principal executor of pyroptosis, a form of proinflammatory programmed cell death misregulation of which is associated with numerous diseases. Despite significant interest, no specific GSDMD inhibitors have been developed for clinical use so far. Here, we developed a strategy to generate mRNA-displayed libraries of bicyclic cysteine-rich peptides (bCRP), and utilized these libraries to develop potent peptide ligands to full-length GSDMD using a two-stage discovery process. Initial hit compounds were de novo discovered from GSDMD affinity selections using Random Nonstandard Peptides Integrated Discovery system, and were then optimized using mRNA display-based saturation mutagenesis. The resulting bCRPs bound to full-length GSDMD (best K
