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

Tridecaptins are a re-emerging class of non-ribosomal antibacterial peptides (NRAPs) with potent activity against highly problematic strains of Gram-negative bacteria. An intricate mode of action has been reported to explain the bactericidal activity of these NRAPs, wherein they bind selectivity to the Gram-negative version of the peptidoglycan precursor lipid II on the outer leaflet of the inner membrane and disrupt the proton-motive force. Tridecaptins are highly amenable to synthetic modification owing to their linear structure, therefore, various synthetic analogues have been reported, several of which have enhanced antimicrobial activity, reduced cost of synthesis and/or improved stability towards d-peptidase mediated hydrolysis. It has also been demonstrated that unacylated tridecaptins can act synergistically with clinically relevant antibiotics by sensitizing the outer membrane. This review will summarize past literature on the development/discovery of novel tridecaptin analogues (up until the end of 2020), some of which may be useful therapeutic agents to treat insidious Gram-negative bacterial infections.
