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

Antibiotic resistance is a major problem of tuberculosis treatment. This provides the stimulus for the search of novel molecular targets and approaches to reduce or forestall resistance emergence in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Earlier, we discovered a novel small-molecular inhibitor among 3-phenyl-5-(1-phenyl-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl)-[1,2,4]oxadiazoles targeting simultaneously two enzymes-mycobacterial leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS) and methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS), which are promising molecular targets for antibiotic development. Unfortunately, the identified inhibitor does not reveal antibacterial activity toward M. tuberculosis. This study aims to develop novel aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitors among this chemical class with antibacterial activity toward resistant strains of M. tuberculosis. We performed molecular docking of the library of 3-phenyl-5-(1-phenyl-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl)-[1,2,4]oxadiazole derivatives and selected 41 compounds for investigation of their inhibitory activity toward MetRS and LeuRS in aminoacylation assay and antibacterial activity toward M. tuberculosis strains using microdilution assay. In vitro screening resulted in 10 compounds active against MetRS and 3 compounds active against LeuRS. Structure-related relationships (SAR) were established. The antibacterial screening revealed 4 compounds active toward M. tuberculosis mono-resistant strains in the range of concentrations 2-20 mg/L. Among these compounds, only one compound 27 has significant enzyme inhibitory activity toward mycobacterial MetRS (IC
