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

Semaglutide is a therapeutically important lipopeptide that comprises a lipidated peptide with a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) sequence, and may be prone to aggregation. We show that semaglutide in low pH 2.4 solutions forms β-sheet fibrils, in contrast to the oligomeric and micellar structures formed at higher pH. Based on cryo-TEM images showing twisted fibrils and the modeling of SAXS data (and with knowledge from fiber XRD) and molecular dynamics simulations, a model for the β-sheet structure is proposed, which comprises curved β-strands arranged in an antiparallel fashion around a core that comprises the lipidated lysine residue. This structure results from the patterning of the charged, polar, hydrophobic, and lipidated residues. Remarkably, it is possible to form a glass from the base form of semaglutide with crotonic acid, an organic salt capable of hydrogen bonding. Semaglutide glasses may have applications in biomedicine or therapeutics (for example, as slow-release depots).
