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 monosaccharide l-Rhamnose is an important component of bacterial cell walls. The first step in the l-rhamnose biosynthetic pathway is catalysed by glucose-1-phosphate thymidylyltransferase (RmlA), which condenses glucose-1-phosphate (Glu-1-P) with deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP) to yield dTDP-d-glucose. In addition to the active site where catalysis of this reaction occurs, RmlA has an allosteric site that is important for its function. Building on previous reports, SAR studies have explored further the allosteric site, leading to the identification of very potent P. aeruginosa RmlA inhibitors. Modification at the C6-NH
