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

AgrD is the precursor for the autoinducing peptide in a quorum-sensing system regulating virulence phenotypes of the preeminent pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. Mass spectrometry-based methods, including molecular networking, identified formylated and nonformylated peptide variants derived from the AgrD N-terminal leader domain in S. aureus cell-free culture supernatants. Functional assessment of these peptides revealed unexpected bioactivities, including human cell-line cytotoxicity, modulation of neutrophil chemotaxis, neutrophil extracellular trap formation, and the aggravation of skin lesions in vivo.
