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

The role of nitric oxide (NO) as an antimicrobial and anticancer agent continues to stimulate the search of compounds generating NO in a controlled fashion. Photochemical generators of NO are particularly appealing due to the accurate spatiotemporal control that light-triggering offers. This contribution reports a novel molecular construct in which multiple units of 3-(trifluoromethyl)-4-nitrobenzenamine NO photodonor are clustered and spatially organized by covalent linkage to a calix[4]arene scaffold bearing two quaternary ammonium groups at the lower rim. This multivalent calix[4]arene-NO donor conjugate is soluble in hydro-alcoholic solvent where it forms nanoaggregates able to release NO under the exclusive control of visible light inputs. The light-stimulated antibacterial activity of the nanoconstruct is demonstrated by the effective bacterial load reduction of Gram-positive
