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

The antimicrobial peptides magainin 2, indolicidin, and temporins B and L were found to modulate the hydrolytic activity of secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)) from bee venom and in human lacrimal fluid. More specifically, hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes by bee venom sPLA(2) at 10 micro M Ca(2+) was attenuated by these peptides while augmented product formation was observed in the presence of 5 mM Ca(2+). The activity of sPLA(2) towards anionic liposomes was significantly enhanced by the antimicrobial peptides at low [Ca(2+)] and was further enhanced in the presence of 5 mM Ca(2+). Similarly, with 5 mM Ca(2+) the hydrolysis of anionic liposomes was enhanced significantly by human lacrimal fluid sPLA(2), while that of PC liposomes was attenuated. These results indicate that concerted action of antimicrobial peptides and sPLA(2) could improve the efficiency of the innate response to infections. Interestingly, inclusion of a cationic gemini surfactant in the vesicles showed an essentially similar pattern on sPLA(2) activity, suggesting that the modulation of the enzyme activity by the antimicrobial peptides may involve also charge properties of the substrate surface.
