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 cause millions of global infections each year, and the development of alternative antimicrobial drugs has become a serious undertaking. Currently, peptides with antimicrobial activity represent potential candidates for new antibiotic discovery as they are less likely to cause drug resistance in bacteria. In this study, bifunctional peptides with potent trypsin-inhibitory activity and antimicrobial activity were obtained by rational computation-based structural modifications to a novel Bowman-Birk-type inhibitor (BBI) peptide. The analogues not only displayed potent bacterial killing ability against two drug-resistant bacteria strains of
