Subtractive modification of bacterial consortium using antisense peptide nucleic acids.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Microbiome engineering is an emerging research field that aims to design an artificial microbiome and modulate its function. In particular, subtractive modification of the microbiome allows us to create an artificial microbiome without the microorganism of interest and to evaluate its functions and interactions with other constituent bacteria. However, few techniques that can specifically remove only a single species from a large number of microorganisms and can be applied universally to a variety of microorganisms have been developed. Antisense peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a potent designable antimicrobial agent that can be delivered into microbial cells by conjugating with a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP). Here, we tested the efficacy of the conjugate of CPP and PNA (CPP-PNA) as microbiome modifiers. The addition of CPP-PNA specifically inhibited the growth of
