From antimicrobial to anticancer: unraveling the potential of pleurocidin and pleurocidin-derived peptides in the treatment of cancers.
Review in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 peptides (AMPs), commonly referred to as host defense peptides, are found in a wide range of organisms, including bacteria, plants, and both vertebrate and invertebrate animals. They function as an initial defense mechanism against pathogenic microorganisms, modulate immune responses, and in specific instances, confer protection against the onset of cancer. Pleurocidin (Ple) is a linear antimicrobial peptide with amphipathic α-helical conformation, isolated originally from the winter flounder (
