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

To combat infection by microorganisms host organisms possess a primary arsenal via the innate immune system. Among them are defense peptides with the ability to target a wide range of pathogenic organisms, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. Here, we present the development of a novel machine learning model capable of predicting the activity of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), CalcAMP. AMPs, in particular short ones (<35 amino acids), can become an effective solution to face the multi-drug resistance issue arising worldwide. Whereas finding potent AMPs through classical wet-lab techniques is still a long and expensive process, a machine learning model can be useful to help researchers to rapidly identify whether peptides present potential or not. Our prediction model is based on a new data set constructed from the available public data on AMPs and experimental antimicrobial activities. CalcAMP can predict activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Different features either concerning general physicochemical properties or sequence composition have been assessed to retrieve higher prediction accuracy. CalcAMP can be used as an promising prediction asset to identify short AMPs among given peptide sequences.
