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

The overuse and misuse of traditional antimicrobial drugs have led to their weakened effectiveness and the emergence of pathogenic bacterial resistance. Consequently, there has been growing interest in alternative options such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in the pharmaceutical industry. Microcin J25 (MccJ25) has gained significant attention for its potent inhibitory effect on a diverse range of pathogens. Its unique rotaxane structure provides exceptional stability against extreme thermal, pH, and protease degradation, including chymotrypsin, trypsin, and pepsin. Given its remarkable stability and diverse bioactivity, we aim to provide an overview of the physicochemical properties, the mechanism underlying its antimicrobial activity, and the critical functional residues of MccJ25. Additionally, we have summarized the latest strategies for the heterologous expression of MccJ25, and its potential medical use and other applications.
