An Investigation of Pepsin Hydrolysate of Short Antibacterial Peptides Derived from Limnospira Sp.
Article in Applied biochemistry and biotechnology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The antimicrobial peptides derived from microalgae have attracted a huge attention due to the insufficient availability of effective drugs from the natural resources. In this study, the enzymatic hydrolysate of protein derived from Limnospira maxima was prepared using pepsin under optimized conditions. The peptides with range of 10 kDa were isolated and purified using the Ultra membrane filtration, SDS-PAGE, and TLC. Furthermore, the peptide sequence was identified and characterized by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry in which an algal peptide, KLENCNYAVELGK showed a strong signal at 466.68 m/z among seven peptides derived from the pepsin hydrolysate. The FT-IR spectroscopic study confirmed the presence of a characteristic functional group of amino acids in the sequence. The algal derived peptide showed antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli (27 ± 0.5 mm) and Staphylococcus aureus (14 mm ± 0.5). This study paves a way to explore the antibacterial peptide from a novel species, L. maxima (MZ26519) evident to utilize for the novel drug to overcome the conventional approach.
