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

Novel antifungal drugs that evade resistance are urgently needed for Candida infections. Antifungal peptides (AFPs) are potential candidates due to their specific mechanism of action, which makes them less prone to developing drug resistance. An AFP de novo design method, Deep Learning-Quantitative Structure‒Activity Relationship Empirical Screening (DL-QSARES), is developed by integrating deep learning and quantitative structure‒activity relationship  empirical screening. After generating candidate AFPs (c_AFPs) through the recombination of dominant amino acids and dipeptide compositions, natural language processing models are utilized and quantitative structure‒activity relationship (QSAR) approaches based on physicochemical properties to screen for promising c_AFPs. Forty-nine promising c_AFPs are screened, and their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against C. albicans are determined to be 3.9-125 µg mL
