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

Synthetic antimicrobial cyclic peptides conjugated to an antitumoral drug are used against drug-resistant cancer cells for a combined drug delivery strategy. The antimicrobial peptides are based on nanotube-forming cyclic peptides of alternating chirality, whose amphipathic and cationic characteristics determine their propensity to mainly interact with cell membranes rich in anionic phospholipids. This affinity triggers the formation of a supramolecular structure capable of destabilizing cell membranes such as those present in endosomes, thereby facilitating the delivery of the therapeutic agent to the cell nucleus and circumventing the cellular resistance mechanisms associated with efflux pumps.
