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

Growing prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacterial infections necessitates novel antimicrobials, which could be rapidly identified from combinatorial libraries. We report the use of the peptoid library agar diffusion (PLAD) assay to screen peptoid libraries against the ESKAPE pathogens, including the optimization of assay conditions for each pathogen. Work presented here focuses on the tailoring of combinatorial peptoid library design through a detailed study of how peptoid lipophilicity relates to antibacterial potency and mammalian cell toxicity. The information gleaned from this optimization was then applied using the aforementioned screening method to examine the relative potency of peptoid libraries against Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Enterococcus faecalis prior to and following functionalization with long alkyl tails. The data indicate that overall peptoid hydrophobicity and not simply alkyl tail length is strongly correlated with mammalian cell toxicity. Furthermore, this work demonstrates the utility of the PLAD assay in rapidly evaluating the effect of molecular property changes in similar libraries.
