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

The efficacy of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is limited by challenges of delivery and potency. We enhance AMP performance in the lung by converting AMPs to a peptibody format that fuses AMPs with fragment crystallizable domains to activate innate immunity and cathelin domains for infection-responsive activation, with their mRNA constructs delivered by anti-inflammatory lipid nanoparticles. The highest-scoring design outperforms antibiotic therapy approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in multidrug-resistant pneumonia models, eradicating representative MDR bacteria while mitigating inflammation.
