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 emergence of multidrug-resistant microbes is a significant health concern posing a constant need for new antimicrobials. Membrane-targeting antibiotics are promising candidates with reduced ability of microbes to develop resistance. In the present investigation, the principal reason behind choosing cholic acid as the crucial scaffold lies in the fact that it has a facially amphiphilic nature, which provides ample opportunity to refine the amphiphilicity by linking the amino acid lysine. A total of 16 novel amphipathic cholic acid derivatives were synthesized by sequentially linking lysine to C3-β-amino cholic acid methyl ester to maintain the hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance, which could be the essential requirement for the antimicrobial activity. Among the synthesized conjugates, a series with fluorenyl-9-methoxycarbonyl moiety attached to cholic acid via lysine linker showed promising antimicrobial activity against
