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

Intracellular bacterial infections pose a significant challenge to current therapeutic strategies due to the limited penetration of antibiotics through host cell membranes. This study presents a novel computational framework for efficiently screening candidate peptides against these infections. The proposed strategy comprehensively evaluates the essential properties for the clinical application of candidate peptides, including antimicrobial activity, permeation efficiency, and biocompatibility, while also taking into account the speed and reliability of the screening process. A combination of multiple AI-based activity prediction models allows for a thorough assessment of sequences in the cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) database and quickly identifies candidate peptides with target properties. On this basis, the CPP microscopic dynamics research system was constructed. Exploration of the mechanism of action at the atomic level provides strong support for the discovery of promising candidate peptides. Promising candidates are subsequently validated through
