AAV-based gene delivery of antimicrobial peptides to combat drug-resistant pathogens.
Review in Applied and environmental microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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) have emerged as potential alternatives to conventional antibiotics due to their novelty and multiple mechanisms of action. Because they are peptides, AMPs are amenable to bioengineering and suitable for cloning and expression at large production scales. However, the efficient delivery of AMPs is an unaddressed issue, particularly due to their large size, possible toxicities, and the development of adverse immune responses. Here, we have reviewed the possibilities of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based localized gene delivery of AMPs for the treatment of infectious diseases with a special focus on respiratory infections. By discussing the gene delivery mechanism of AAV and the accompanying technical and therapeutic challenges with AMPs, we describe a foundation that emphasizes the use of viral vector-based gene delivery of AMPs for disease treatment.
