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

Background: Global public health is seriously threatened by the escalating issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), pivotal components of the innate immune system, have emerged as a potent solution to AMR due to their therapeutic potential. Employing computational methodologies for the prompt recognition of these antimicrobial peptides indeed unlocks fresh perspectives, thereby potentially revolutionizing antimicrobial drug development. Methods: In this study, we have developed a model named as deepAMPNet. This model, which leverages graph neural networks, excels at the swift identification of AMPs. It employs structures of antimicrobial peptides predicted by AlphaFold2, encodes residue-level features through a bi-directional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) protein language model, and constructs adjacency matrices anchored on amino acids' contact maps. Results: In a comparative study with other state-of-the-art AMP predictors on two external independent test datasets, deepAMPNet outperformed in accuracy. Furthermore, in terms of commonly accepted evaluation matrices such as AUC, Mcc, sensitivity, and specificity, deepAMPNet achieved the highest or highly comparable performances against other predictors. Conclusion: deepAMPNet interweaves both structural and sequence information of AMPs, stands as a high-performance identification model that propels the evolution and design in antimicrobial peptide pharmaceuticals.
