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

Drug-resistant bacteria have become one of the greatest threats to human health in recent decades. With the large-scale abuse of antibiotics, bacteria resistant to traditional antibiotics are becoming increasingly common while clinical options for treating refractory infections are rapidly diminishing. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as a promising alternative to traditional antibiotics, exhibit unique antibacterial mechanisms and potent antimicrobial activity. In recent years, numerous AMPs have been identified and validated in laboratory settings for their efficacy against the 'ESKAPE' pathogens, including Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species. Although the clinical translation of AMPs is currently hindered by challenges such as stability, toxicity, and production costs, advances in biotechnology and continued research are paving the way for their development as promising alternatives for treating drug-resistant ESKAPE pathogens. This review focuses on summarizing AMPs with demonstrated efficacy against ESKAPE pathogens and explores their clinical application potential, aiming to provide insights for future AMP research and therapeutic development.
