Susceptibility of human pathogenic bacteria to antimicrobial peptides from sesame kernels.
Article in Current microbiology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Hospital infection caused by Gram-negative bacteria is a serious and common problem, especially in developing countries. Aiming to reduce these infections, this report focuses on the identification and characterization of novel antimicrobial peptides from sesame (Sesamum indicum) kernel meals. Thus, sesame flour was extracted and precipitated with ammonium sulfate (100%). After dialysis, a rich fraction was applied to affinity red-Sepharose CL-6B chromatography, followed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Mass spectrometry analysis indicated the presence of a major peptide with molecular mass of approximately 5.8 kDa in both cultivars. The bactericidal activities of antimicrobial peptides were evaluated against several human pathogens that had been effective only against Klebsiella sp., a Gram-negative bacterium responsible for human urinary infection. These data indicate the biotechnological potential of sesame peptides as an alternative method for hospital infection control and also the decrease of bacterial resistance to synthetic antibiotics.
