Novel benzyl phenyl sulfide derivatives as antibacterial agents against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Article in The Journal of antibiotics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is a major threat to human health due to its resistance to almost all classes of antibiotics. Discovery of novel antibacterial agents with new structures which combat the pathogens responsible for MRSA is urgent. In this study, three series of benzyl phenyl sulfide derivatives were designed and synthesized, and their antibacterial activity against eleven MRSA strains were evaluated. The results showed that two series of the synthetic compounds (5a-5l and 12p-12u) exhibit potent antibacterial activity against S. aureus and MRSA, with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 2-64 μg/mL. The structure-activity relationships are discussed and the mechanism of the antibacterial activity was shown to involve the destruction of the bacterial cell membrane. Finally, the MTT assay results suggest that the toxicity of compounds 5f and 5h is selective between bacteria and mammalian cells.
