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

Chromobacterium violaceum is a Gram-negative, saprophytic bacterium that can infect humans and its virulence may be regulated by quorum sensing via N-acyl homoserine lactones. A virtual screening study with plant compounds and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for inhibition of C. violaceum quorum sensing system has been performed. In vitro evaluation was done to validate the in silico results. Molecular docking showed that phytol, margaric acid, palmitic acid, dipyrone, ketoprofen, and phenylbutazone bound to structures of CviR proteins of different C. violaceum strains. Phytol presented higher binding affinities than AHLs and furanones, recognized inducers, and inhibitors of quorum sensing, respectively. When tested in vitro, phytol at a non-inhibitory concentration was the most efficient tested compound to reduce phenotypes regulated by quorum sensing. The results indicate that in silico compound prospection to inhibit quorum sensing may be a good tool for finding alternative lead molecules.
