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

Lantibiotics are antimicrobial peptides which can have a broad spectrum activity against many Gram positive pathogens. Many of these peptides contain charged amino acids which may be of critical importance with respect to antimicrobial activity. We have recently carried out an in-depth bioengineering based investigation of the importance of charged residues in a representative two peptide lantibiotic, lacticin 3147, and here we discuss the significance of these findings in the context of other lantibiotics and cationic antimicrobial peptides.
