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

Lactoferrin is an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) playing a pivotal role in numerous biological processes. The primary antimicrobial efficacy of lactoferrin is associated with its N-terminal end, which contains various peptides, such as lactoferricin and lactoferrampin. In this context, our research team has developed a refined chimeric 42-mer peptide known as cLF36 over the past few years. This peptide encompasses the complete amino acid sequence of camel lactoferrampin and partial amino acid sequence of lactoferricin. The peptide's activity against human, avian, and plant bacterial pathogens has been assessed using different biological platforms, including prokaryotic (P170 and pET) and eukaryotic (HEK293) expression systems. The peptide positively influenced the growth performance and intestinal morphology of chickens challenged with pathogen bacteria. Computational methods and in vitro studies showed the peptide's antiviral effects against hepatitis C virus, influenza virus, and rotavirus. The chimeric peptide exhibited higher activity against certain tumor cell lines compared to normal cells, which may be attributed to the peptide's interaction with negatively charged glycosaminoglycans on the surface of tumor cells. Importantly, this peptide exhibited no toxicity against host cells and demonstrated remarkable thermal and protease stability in serum. In conclusion, while our investigations suggest that the chimeric peptide, cLF36, may offer potential as a candidate or complementary option to some available antibiotics, antiviral agents, and chemical pesticides, significant uncertainties remain regarding its cost-effectiveness, as well as its pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic characteristics, which require further elucidation.
