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

A methodology based on the concepts that arise from Density Functional Theory (CDFT) was chosen for the calculation of the global and local reactivity descriptors of the Phallotoxin family of fungal peptides. The determination of the active sites for the molecules has been achieved by resorting some descriptors within Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) like the Dual Descriptor and the Parr functions. Phallosacin has been found as the most reactive of the peptides on the basis of the calculated Global Reactivity Descriptors. The pKas of the seven studied peptides were established using a proposed relationship between this property and the calculated Global Hardness. The bioactivity properties of the peptides considered in this study were obtained by resorting to a homology model by comparison with the bioactivity of related molecules in their interaction with different receptors.
