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

Natural spider silk fibers are recognized for their outstanding mechanical properties. The production of underlying recombinant spider silk proteins in scalable quantities unlocks their potential for technical and biomedical applications. The recombinant spider silk technology further enables the introduction of new functions via genetic encoding. In the present study, the non-canonical amino acid L-azidohomoalanine is incorporated into the engineered Araneus diadematus fibroin 4, eADF4(C16), at positions explicitly defined by methionine codons in an N-terminal peptide tag. The azido-functionalized eADF4(C16) is processed into particles, films, or electrospun into nanofibers. As functional entities, high molecular weight molecules, such as antibodies, are modified with bio-orthogonal groups suitable for strain-promoted cycloaddition to the exposed azido-groups on the spider silk supports. The antibody-activated spider silk nonwoven meshes exemplarily show their applicability as bio-capturing membranes.
