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 use of natural products and their derivatives has evolved as a promising approach for the treatment of various infectious diseases, particularly to combat drug-resistant microbial strains. In addition, these natural products characterized by the presence of novel structures and mechanisms of action may provide guidance toward the development of potential new chemotherapies. In the present review, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is briefly introduced and research focused on the identification and characterization of actinomycete metabolites for antimicrobial activity is discussed. Three compounds, i.e., walkmycin B, waldiomycin, and signamycin B, with novel mechanisms of action as histidine kinase inhibitors, were isolated from the metabolites of actinomycetes. New antituberculosis antibiotics, tuberlactomicin A and caprazamycins, were discovered, and amycolamicin was identified as an antimethicillin-resistant Staphylococus aureus antibiotic. The discovery of these compounds encourages the discovery and investigation of more natural products active against antimicrobial-resistant species, thus providing scaffold for the development of effective drugs against various AMR species.
