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

Polymers of basic amino acids function as polycationic compounds under physiological conditions and exhibit intriguing biological properties, such as antimicrobial and antiviral activities, immunopotentiating ability, and DNA-binding activity. Poly(ε-L-lysine) (ε-PL) produced by some strains of Streptomyces spp. is a cationic homopolymer of L-lysine linking between ε-amino and α-carboxylic acid functional groups and has been used as a food preservative based on its biocompatibility and biodegradability. An ε-PL-producing strain of Streptomyces sp. USE-33 was found to secrete a novel polycationic substance into its culture broth along with ε-PL. High-performance liquid chromatography analyses and one- and two-dimensional
