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

backgroundAntimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for new generations of antibiotics to overcome the threats of multidrug-resistant infections as well as other industrial applications. Recombinant expression of small peptides is challenging due to low expression rates and high sensitivity to proteases. However, recombinant multimeric or fusion expression of AMPs facilitates cost-effective large-scale production of AMPs. In This project, S3 and SΔ3 AMPs were expressed as fusion partners. S3 peptide is a 34 amino acid linear antimicrobial peptide derived from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) binding site of factor C of horseshoe crab hemolymph and SΔ3 is a modified variant of S3 possessing more positive charges.

methodsTwo copy tandem repeat of the fusion protein (named as SΔ3S3-2mer-GS using glycine- serine linker was expressed in

resultsSΔ3S3-2mer-GS was successfully expressed with an expression rate of 26%. The geometric average of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC GM) of SΔ3S3-2mer-GS was 28%, 34%, and 57% lower than SΔ3, S3-4mer-GS, and S3, respectively. SΔ3S3-2mer-GS had no toxic effect on eukaryotes human embryonic kidney cells at its MIC concentration.

conclusiontandem repeated fusion expression strategy could be employed as an effective technique for recombinant production of AMPs.
