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

DNA gyrase is an important target for the development of novel antibiotics. Although ATP-competitive DNA gyrase (GyrB) inhibitors are a well-studied class of antibacterial agents, there is currently no representative used in therapy, largely due to unwanted off-target activities. Selectivity of GyrB inhibitors against closely related human ATP-binding enzymes should be evaluated early in development to avoid off-target binding to homologous binding domains. To address this challenge, we developed selective 3D-pharmacophore models for GyrB, human topoisomerase IIα (TopoII), and the Hsp90 N-terminal domain (NTD) to be used in in silico activity profiling paradigms to identify molecules selective for GyrB over TopoII and Hsp90, as starting points for hit expansion and lead optimization. The models were used to profile highly active GyrB, TopoII, and Hsp90 inhibitors. Selected compounds were tested in in vitro assays. GyrB inhibitors
