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

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a global public health threat that is becoming increasingly difficult to address with conventional therapeutics. Consequently, there is much interest in studying alternative biologics that circumvent antibiotic resistance. The Brevinin-2 family of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is a group of naturally occurring molecules that have the potential for high activity and low toxicity. Herein, we investigated the potential of a consensus-sequence-driven approach to Brevinin-2 peptide synthesis and evaluated their action against a panel of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, including carbapenemase-resistant IMPORTANCE: The escalating threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) demands innovative therapeutic strategies beyond traditional antibiotics. This study demonstrates a systematic, consensus-sequence-driven approach to designing antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from the naturally occurring Brevinin-2 family, offering a replicable framework for accelerated drug discovery. Our novel peptide G37 exhibits bactericidal activity against carbapenemase-resistant
