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

Constructing artificial assemblies that combine proteins and synthetic ligands has been hampered by the lack of protein-ligand interfaces that are sufficiently large and organized to enable precise structural control. Here ribosome display selection is used to identify a protein that binds a helical aromatic foldamer both tightly and selectively through a sizeable surface area. We used this complex as a supramolecular synthon to create well-defined hybrid foldamer-protein architectures. Examples include foldamers that bind two proteins and hold them at a precise distance, proteins that bind two foldamers and crystals in which proteins and foldamers are connected in cyclic or infinite arrays. The modularity of aromatic foldamers brings a further dimension to protein-based assemblies.
