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

Antiviral peptides (AVPs) have shown potential in inhibiting viral attachment, preventing viral fusion with host cells and disrupting viral replication due to their unique action mechanisms. They have now become a broad-spectrum, promising antiviral therapy. However, identifying effective AVPs is traditionally slow and costly. This study proposed a new two-stage computational framework for AVP identification. The first stage identifies AVPs from a wide range of peptides, and the second stage recognizes AVPs targeting specific families or viruses. This method integrates contrastive learning and multi-feature fusion strategy, focusing on sequence information and peptide characteristics, significantly enhancing predictive ability and interpretability. The evaluation results of the model show excellent performance, with accuracy of 0.9240 and Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) score of 0.8482 on the non-AVP independent dataset, and accuracy of 0.9934 and MCC score of 0.9869 on the non-AMP independent dataset. Furthermore, our model can predict antiviral activities of AVPs against six key viral families (Coronaviridae, Retroviridae, Herpesviridae, Paramyxoviridae, Orthomyxoviridae, Flaviviridae) and eight viruses (FIV, HCV, HIV, HPIV3, HSV1, INFVA, RSV, SARS-CoV). Finally, to facilitate user accessibility, we built a user-friendly web interface deployed at https://awi.cuhk.edu.cn/∼dbAMP/AVP/.
