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

backgroundTreatment of P. aeruginosa wound infection is challenging due to its inherent and acquired resistance to many conventional antibiotics. Cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) with distinct modes of antimicrobial action have been considered as the next-generation therapeutic agents. In the present study, a murine skin surgical wound infection model was used to evaluate the in vivo toxicity and efficacy of two newly designed antimicrobial peptides (CAMP-A and CAMP-B), as chemotherapeutic agents to combat P. aeruginosa infection.

resultsIn the first trial, topical application of CAMPs on the wounds at a dose equivalent to 4 × MIC for 7 consecutive days did not cause any significant changes in the physical activities, hematologic and plasma biochemical parameters, or histology of systemic organs of the treated mice. Daily treatment of infected wounds with CAMP-A and CAMP-B for 5 days at a dose equivalent to 2× MIC resulted in a significant reduction in wound bacterial burden (CAMP-A: 4.3 log

conclusionsThe data collectively indicated that CAMPs significantly reduced wound bacterial load, promoted wound healing, and prevented hepatic dissemination. CAMP-A is a promising alternative to commonly used antibiotics to treat P. aeruginosa skin infection.
