Trylons: Polyamide Surrogate Substrates Enable High-Throughput Screening of Nylon-Degrading Enzymes.
Article in Chembiochem : a European journal of chemical biology, 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 aminohexanoate oligomer hydrolase enzymes, NylCs, have emerged as lead biocatalysts for their potential to depolymerize nylon in a bioremediation context. Protein engineering efforts have thus far improved thermostability and activity, but conversion of the polymer to smaller oligomers remains low. With the intent to accelerate engineering efforts, we report the design, synthesis, and application of polyamide surrogate substrates to a rapid, high-throughput screen of NylC activity by continuous light scattering measurements. Evaluation of a small panel of diamide substrates revealed unprecedented specificity for the amide bonds recognized and hydrolysed by NylCs. We further demonstrate that the active substrates, Trylon-6 and Trylon-66, act as surrogates for nylon hydrolysis, where activity of NylCs towards Trylon is predictive of their activity towards bulk nylon film. Finally, we apply the surrogate screen to four mutant libraries of NylC
