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

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the second most emerging multidrug-resistant, opportunistic pathogen after Acinetobacter baumannii that poses a threat in nursing homes, hospitals, and patients who need devices such as ventilators and blood catheters. Its ability to form quorum sensing-regulated virulence factors and biofilm makes it more resistant to top most therapeutic agents such as carbapenems and next-generation antibiotics. In the current study, we studied the quorum quenching potential of secondary metabolites of Mycoleptodiscus indicus PUTY1 strain. In vitro observation showed a mitigation in virulence factors such as rhamnolipids, protease, elastase pyocyanin, exopolysaccharides, and hydrogen cyanide gas. Furthermore, a significant reduction in the motility such as swimming, swarming, twitching, and inhibition in biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 was observed. Results of in vitro studies were further confirmed by in silico studies through docking and molecular dynamic simulation of GC-MS-detected compounds of Mycoleptodiscus indicus employing LasR and RhlR proteins. Both in vitro and in silico observations indicate a new alternative approach for combating virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by targeting its protein receptors LasR and RhlR. Graphical abstract.
