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 alarming rise of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains, coupled with decades of stagnation in the field of antibiotic development, necessitates exploration of new therapeutic approaches to treat bacterial infections. Targeting bacterial virulence is an attractive alternative to traditional antibiotics in that this approach disarms pathogens that cause human diseases, without placing immediate selective pressure on the target bacterium or harming commensal species. The growing number of validated virulence protein targets for which structural information has been obtained, along with advances in computational power and screening algorithms, make the rational design of antivirulence drugs a promising avenue to explore. Here, we review the principles of structure-based drug design and the exciting opportunities this technique presents for antivirulence drug discovery.
