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

Gram-negative bacteria utilize glycerophospholipids (GPLs) as phospho-form donors to modify various surface structures. These modifications play important roles in bacterial fitness in diverse environments influencing cell motility, recognition by the host during infection, and antimicrobial resistance. A well-known example is the modification of the lipid A component of lipopolysaccharide by the phosphoethanolamine (pEtN) transferase EptA that utilizes phosphatidyethanoalmine (PE) as the phospho-form donor. Addition of pEtN to lipid A promotes resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs), including the polymyxin antibiotics like colistin. A consequence of pEtN modification is the production of diacylglycerol (DAG) that must be recycled back into GPL synthesis via the diacylglycerol kinase A (DgkA). DgkA phosphorylates DAG forming phosphatidic acid, the precursor for GPL synthesis. Here we report that deletion of
