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

Discovery of new drug binding sites on well-established targets is of great interest as it facilitates the design of new mechanistic inhibitors to overcome the acquired drug resistance. Small chemical fragments can easily enter and bind to the cavities on the protein surface. Thus, they can be used to probe new druggable pockets in proteins. DNA gyrase plays indispensable roles in DNA replication, and both its GyrA and GyrB subunits are clinically validated antibacterial targets. New mechanistic GyrB inhibitors are urgently desired since the withdrawal of novobiocin from the market by the FDA due to its reduced efficiency and other reasons. Here, a fragment library was screened against the
