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

objectivesMATERIALS AND

methodsThe catalytic domain of the Codon-optimized LasA gene was sub-cloned into pET28a vector, and BL21 DE3 cells were used for protein expression. Recombinant LasA protein was affinity purified by Ni-NTA column and staphylolytic activity of the LasA protein against methicillin-resistant strains was evaluated by disk diffusion and MIC test. The kinetic stability was evaluated in different temperatures during 48 hr.

resultsOur results revealed that LasA protein can completely prevent the growth of Methicillin-resistant

conclusionWith regard to the failure of conventional antibiotics in treatment of MRSA infections, novel agents to combat multidrug-resistant strains are needed. The present study shows that LasA protein can eradicate MRSA strains, so it can be promising for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant staphylococci infection. The kinetic stability of LasA has also confirmed the possibility of industrial-scale manufacturing for the subsequent use of the enzyme clinically.
