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

Peptides are important bioactive molecules for smart biomaterials and functional tissue engineering because they can provide targeting, antimicrobial, adhesive, immunomodulatory, and differentiation-regulating functions. However, conventional peptide discovery remains limited by high experimental cost, incomplete exploration of sequence space, and the difficulty of balancing bioactivity with stability, safety, manufacturability, and material compatibility. These limitations become more pronounced when peptides must retain function after chemical modification, immobilization, hydrogel incorporation, crosslinking, printing, or construct maturation. Recent advances in protein language models and multimodal foundation models provide new opportunities for peptide screening, generation, property prediction, and material-aware prioritization. This review summarizes foundation model-assisted strategies for peptide representation learning, candidate retrieval,
