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

Arabinosyltransferases (AraTs) play a critical role in mycobacterial cell wall biosynthesis and are potential drug targets for the treatment of tuberculosis, especially multi-drug resistant forms of M. tuberculosis (MTB). Herein, we report the synthesis and acceptor/inhibitory activity of Araf alpha(1-->5) Araf disaccharides possessing deoxygenation at the reducing sugar of the disaccharide. Deoxygenation at either the C-2 or C-3 position of Araf was achieved via a free radical procedure using xanthate derivatives of the hydroxyl group. The alpha(1-->5)-linked disaccharides were produced by coupling n-octyl alpha-Araf 2-/3-deoxy, 2-fluoro glycosyl acceptors with an Araf thioglycosyl donor. The target disaccharides were tested in a cell free mycobacterial AraTs assay as well as an in vitro assay against MTB H(37)Ra and M. avium complex strains.
