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

aimIncreasing antimicrobial resistance has compromised the effectiveness of many antibiotics, including those used to treat staphylococcal infections like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The development of combination therapies, where antimicrobial agents are used with compounds that inhibit resistance pathways is a promising strategy. Results/methodology: The Raf kinase inhibitor GW5074 exhibited selective in vitro activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including clinical isolates of S. aureus with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2-8 µg/ml. GW5074 was effective in vivo in the Galleria mellonella infection model. The compound showed synergy with gentamicin by lowering MIC by fourfold, compared with gentamicin MIC alone.

conclusionThis work demonstrates the antimicrobial properties of GW5074 and supports further investigation of the kinase inhibitors as antibiotic adjuvants.
