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 utility of various synthetic peptides has been investigated in clinical trials of the treatment of cancers, infectious diseases and endocrine diseases. In the process of functional gene screening with in silico analysis for molecules with angiogenic properties, we generated a small peptide, angiogenic peptide (AG)-30, that possesses both antimicrobial and pro-inflammatory activities. AG-30 has an alpha-helix structure with a number of hydrophobic or net positively charged amino acids and a propensity to fold into amphipathic structures. Indeed, AG-30 exhibited antimicrobial activity against various bacteria, induced vascular endothelial cell growth and tube formation in a dose-dependent manner and increased neovascularization in a Matrigel plug assay. As a result, AG-30 up-regulated expression of angiogenesis-related cytokines and growth factors for up to 72 hrs in human aortic endothelial cells. To further evaluate the angiogenic effect of AG-30 in vivo, we developed a slow-release AG-30 system utilizing biodegradable gelatin microspheres. In the ischaemic mouse hind limb, slow-release AG-30 treatment results in an increase in angiogenic score, an increase in blood flow (as demonstrated by laser Doppler imaging) and an increase in capillary density (as demonstrated by immunostaining with anti-CD31 antibody). These data suggest that the novel peptide, AG-30, may have therapeutic potential for ischaemic diseases.
