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 emergence of microbial resistance to conventional antibiotics, partially attributed to biofilm formation, has urged for new antimicrobial compounds. Here, we reported two novel low molecular weight (LMW) compounds from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum SJ33 and evaluated their biofilm inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus. The compounds C1 and C2 were purified by RP-HPLC and structurally identified as 3-amino-5-hydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-4-(1-hydroxyprop-2-yn-1-yl)-3,3a,4,5,6,7a-hexahydro-7H-indazol-7-one and 1-(dimethylamino)-3-hydroxy-3-((2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)oxy)-1-(methylamino)-butan-2-one by spectroscopic techniques. High ESI-MS data confirmed the molecular weight of C1 and C2 as 254.1141 and 234.1658 Da, respectively. Time-kill assay demonstrated bactericidal action of compounds, whereas scanning electron microscopy revealed morphological changes in treated S. aureus MTCC96 and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) cells. The antibacterial compounds reduced biofilm formation in S. aureus MTCC96 and MRSA by crystal violet assay. Further, fluorescence and scanning electron microscopic images exhibited biofilm formation by pathogens and biofilm inhibition by compounds treatment. The Quantitative RT PCR revealed the down-regulation of icaC and icaD genes involved in intercellular adhesion of biofilms. The results confirmed the anti-biofilm activity of novel LMW compounds by eliminating preformed biofilms formed by S. aureus MTCC96 and MRSA.
