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

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have emerged as promising alternatives to traditional antibiotics for combating antimicrobial resistance, owing to their unique mechanisms of action and low propensity for resistance development. As antibiotic resistance escalates, there is an urgent need for novel antimicrobial strategies. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, particularly machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), now offer unprecedented opportunities for accelerating AMP discovery and design. Current AI applications span discriminative models, regression models, generative models, and multimodal optimization, significantly improving screening efficiency, enabling innovative design strategies, and facilitating pre-clinical validation. However, AI-driven AMP research still faces challenges including data quality limitations, model interpretability, and experimental validation bottlenecks. This review systematically summarizes the latest AI advances in AMP research, analyzes key technical hurdles, and outlines future directions and emerging opportunities, providing researchers with comprehensive theoretical and practical guidance to expedite AMP-based drug development.
