Antimicrobial peptide activity in asymmetric bacterial membrane mimics.
Article in Faraday discussions, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
We report on the response of asymmetric lipid membranes composed of palmitoyl oleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine and palmitoyl oleoyl phosphatidylglycerol, to interactions with the frog peptides L18W-PGLa and magainin 2 (MG2a), as well as the lactoferricin derivative LF11-215. In particular we determined the peptide-induced lipid flip-flop, as well as membrane partitioning of L18W-PGLa and LF11-215, and vesicle dye-leakage induced by L18W-PGLa. The ability of L18W-PGLa and MG2a to translocate through the membrane appears to correlate with the observed lipid flip-flop, which occurred at the fastest rate for L18W-PGLa. The higher structural flexibility of LF11-215 in turn allows this peptide to insert into the bilayers without detectable changes of membrane asymmetry. The increased vulnerability of asymmetric membranes to L18W-PGLa in terms of permeability, appears to be a consequence of tension differences between the compositionally distinct leaflets, but not due to increased peptide partitioning.
