Dual Antimicrobial and Anticancer Activity of Membrane-Active Peptide BP52.
Article in The protein journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The linear undecapeptide BP52 was previously reported to have antibacterial activity against phytopathogenic bacteria species. Due to the structural similarities to naturally occurring cationic helical antimicrobial peptides, it was speculated that this peptide could potentially target microbial pathogens and cancer cells found in mammals. Consequently, this study aims to further investigate the structural and biological properties of this peptide. Our findings indicate that BP52 exhibits strong antimicrobial and anticancer activity while displaying relatively low levels of hemolytic activity. Hence, this study suggests that BP52 could be a potential lead compound for drug discovery against infectious diseases and cancer. Besides, new insights into the relationships between the structure and the multifunctional properties of antimicrobial peptides were also explored.
