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

The ubiquitous antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), with a broad range of antimicrobial activities, represent a great promise for combating the multi-drug resistant infections. In this study, using a large and diverse set of AMPs (2638) and non-AMPs (3700), we have explored a variety of machine learning classifiers to build in silico models for AMP prediction, including Random Forest (RF), k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), Naive Bayes (NB), Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA), and ensemble learning. Among the various models generated, the RF classifier-based model top-performed in both the internal [Accuracy: 91.40%, Precision: 89.37%, Sensitivity: 90.05%, and Specificity: 92.36%] and external validations [Accuracy: 89.43%, Precision: 88.92%, Sensitivity: 85.21%, and Specificity: 92.43%]. In addition, the RF classifier-based model correctly predicted the known AMPs and non-AMPs; those kept aside as an additional external validation set. The performance assessment revealed three features viz. ChargeD2001, PAAC12 (pseudo amino acid composition), and polarity T13 that are likely to play vital roles in the antimicrobial activity of AMPs. The developed RF-based classification model may further be useful in the design and prediction of the novel potential AMPs.
