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

Alarming rate of resistance to the existing antibiotics exhibits the importance of developing new antibiotic molecules from relatively under explored sources as well as implementing alternative approaches like antibiotic adjuvants. Six previously undescribed fungal polyketides, kaneoheoic acids A-F (1-6) were isolated from a fungal strain Fusarium sp. FM701 which was collected from a muddy sample of Hawaiian beach. The structures of these six compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic interpretation, including HRESIMS and NMR, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) analysis. All six compounds that were inactive when tested alone showed significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, in the range of 10-80 μg/mL when assayed in combination with either chloramphenicol (half of the MIC, 1 μg/mL), an FDA approved antibiotic or disulfiram (6 μg/mL), an established antibiotic adjuvant that augmented the activity of antibiotics.
