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

In this work, we performed the rational design of a cationic antimicrobial peptide, GIBIMPY4, using the software DEPRAMPs developed at the GIBIM research group. GIBIMPY4 has a length of 17 amino acids, it is amphipathic, its structure is α-helix and it has a net charge of (+5). Solid-phase peptide synthesis was performed using the Fmoc strategy in acid medium. The primary structure was confirmed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The antimicrobial activity of the peptide was evaluated by broth microdilution method by measuring optical density in 96-well microplates. The minimal inhibitory concentration of GIBIMPY4 to kill 50 % of the bacterial cells (MIC50) was 6.20 ± 0.02 µM for MRSA and 4.55 ± 0.02 µM for E. coli O157:H7, while also reporting a bacteriostatic effect for the later. GIBIMPY4 activity was sensitive to salt concentration in E. coli but insignificant effect in its activity against MRSA. The peptide seems to be a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent based on the results against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and was specific for bacterial cells E. coli O157:H7 with index of specificity equal to 9.01 in vitro assays.
