PAT: a comprehensive database of prokaryotic antimicrobial toxins.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Antimicrobial toxins help prokaryotes win competitive advantages in intraspecific or interspecific conflicts and are also a critical factor affecting the pathogenicity of many pathogens that threaten human health. Although many studies have revealed that antagonism based on antimicrobial toxins plays a central role in prokaryotic life, a database on antimicrobial toxins remains lacking. Here, we present the prokaryotic antimicrobial toxin database (PAT, http://bioinfo.qd.sdu.edu.cn/PAT/), a comprehensive data resource collection on experimentally validated antimicrobial toxins. PAT has organized information, derived from the reported literature, on antimicrobial toxins, as well as the corresponding immunity proteins, delivery mechanisms, toxin activities, structural characteristics, sequences, etc. Moreover, we also predict potential antimicrobial toxins in prokaryotic reference genomes and show the taxonomic information and environmental distribution of typical antimicrobial toxins. These details have been fully incorporated into the PAT database, where users can browse, search, download, analyse and view informative statistics and detailed information. PAT resources have already been used in our prediction and identification of prokaryotic antimicrobial toxins and may contribute to promoting the efficient investigation of antimicrobial toxin functions, the discovery of novel antimicrobial toxins, and an improved understanding of the biological roles and significance of these toxins.
