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.
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) are a promising potential solution to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) due to their positive charges, which induce selective interaction with negatively charged bacterial membranes. Certain AMPs exhibit a low hemolytic index and non-forming fibrils at physiological pH (7.4), enhancing their therapeutic potential. In this study, we employ constant pH molecular dynamics (CpHMD) simulations to investigate the pH-dependent behavior of a 13-residue-long positively charged AMP, GL13K, focusing on the deprotonation states of lysine residues in a single GL13K AMP and their impact on its structural dynamics. We show that the last lysine located near the C-terminus (LYS11) has a significant deprotonation ratio difference with other lysine residues at the reported average experimental side chain pKa value. We observe that increasing the pH results in eventual decrease of the radius of gyration and end-to-end radius and dominance of random coil structure in metastable states. Overall, our study shows the pH-dependent conformational dynamics and
