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

Species that are currently listed under the genus Brevibacillus (formerly, Bacillus brevis cluster) have been a rich source of antimicrobial peptides for many decades. The first known peptide antibiotic, gramicidin, is presumed to be produced by a Brevibacillus sp. Members of the genus are widely spread in nature. They can be found in a variety of environments including intestinal tracts of animals, seawater, and soil. Some Brevibacillus strains have been used commercially as probiotics. Bioactive peptides produced by Brevibacillus spp. include antibacterial, antifungal and anti-invertebrate agents. Brevibacillus antimicrobial peptides are synthesized through ribosomal or nonribosomal pathway; these two groups can be further categorized based on specific structural features such as cyclization and presence of lipid chain. Some of the antimicrobial compounds produced by this genus share structural similarities that were overlooked previously. For example, the structural similarity between BT peptide, brevibacillin, and bogorol was revealed only recently. Here we review and classify Brevibacillus antimicrobial peptides and summarize their bioactivities and potential applications.
