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
Background and purpose: Antimicrobial resistance still constitutes a major health concern to the global human population. The development of new classes of antimicrobial agents is urgently needed to thwart the continuous emergence of highly resistant microbial pathogens. Experimental approach: In this study, we have rationally designed a novel conjugated ultrashort antimicrobial peptide. The peptide named naprolyginine was challenged against representative strains of wild-type and multidrug-resistant bacteria individually or in combination with individual antibiotics by employing standard antimicrobial and checkerboard assays. Findings / Results: Our results displayed that the peptide exhibits potent synergistic antimicrobial activity against resistant strains of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria when combined with individual antibiotics. Additionally, the peptide was evaluated for its hemolytic activity against human red blood cells and displayed negligible toxicity. Conclusion and implications: Naprolyginine could prove to be a promising candidate for antimicrobial drug development.
