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

The stringent response is well conserved across bacterial species and is a key pathway involved both in bacterial survival and virulence and in the induction of antibiotic tolerance in Mycobacteria. It is mediated by the alarmone (p)ppGpp and the regulatory molecule inorganic polyphosphate in response to stress conditions such as nutrient starvation. Efforts to pharmacologically target various components of the stringent response have shown promise in modulating mycobacterial virulence and antibiotic tolerance. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the stringent response and its role in virulence and tolerance in Mycobacteria, including evidence that targeting this pathway could have therapeutic benefit.
