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

Increasing bacterial resistance to available antibiotics makes the discovery of novel efficacious antibacterial agents a priority. A previous report showed that listeriolysin O (LLO) is a critical virulence factor and suggested that it is a target for developing anti-virulence drugs against Listeria monocytogenes infections. In this study, we report the discovery of LLO natural compound inhibitors with differential activity by using hemolysis assay. The mechanism of action of the inhibitors was consistent with that of fisetin, a natural flavonoid without antimicrobial activity, which we showed in our previous report via molecular simulation. Furthermore, a substantial increase in anti-hemolytic activity was observed when the single bond (C1-C2) was replaced by a double bond (C1-C2) in the inhibitor molecule. This change was based on the decomposition of the ligand-residue interaction, which indicated that the double bond (C1-C2) in the inhibitors was required for their inhibition of LLO. The current MD simulation work provides insights into the mechanism by which the compounds inhibit LLO at the atomic level and will be useful for the development of new, selective LLO inhibitors.
