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 increasing number of antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens is a serious problem in medicine. Endolysins are bacteriolytic enzymes of bacteriophages, and a promising group of enzymes with antibacterial properties. Endolysins of bacteriophages infecting Gram-positive bacteria have a modular domain organization. This feature can be used to design enzymes with new or improved properties by modifying or shuffling individual domains. This work is a detailed analysis 1of the diversity of endolysin domains found in bacteriophages infecting bacilli. During the course of the work, a database of endolysins of such bacteriophages was created, and their domain structures were analyzed using the NCBI database, RASTtk, BLASTp, HHpred, and InterPro programs. A phylogenetic analysis of endolysins was performed using MEGA X. In 438 phage genomes, 454 genes of endolysins were found. In the endolysin sequences found, eight different types of catalytic domains and seven types of cell wall binding domains were identified. The analysis showed that many types of endolysin domains have not yet been characterized experimentally. Studies of the properties of such domains will help to reveal the potential of endolysins for the creation of new antibacterial agents.
