Mediation of metal chelation in cysteine-derived tetramate systems.
Article in Chemical science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
A study of bicyclic tetramates modified with a bulky ester, which leads to steric hindrance of distal chelating atoms as a route for the alteration of metal binding ability is reported. This approach required the development of a direct method for the synthesis of different esters of cysteine from cystine, which then provided access to bicyclic tetramates by Dieckmann cyclisation. Further derivation to ketones and carboxamides by Grignard addition and transamination reactions respectively provided rapid access to a chemical library of tetramates with diverse substitution. Of interest is that bicyclic tetramate ketones and carboxamides showed different tautomeric and metal binding behaviour in solution. Significantly, in both systems, the incorporation of bulky C-5 esters at the bridging position not only reduced metal binding, but also enhanced antibacterial potencies against Gram-positive MRSA bacteria. Those tetramates with antibacterial activity which was not metal dependent showed physiochemical properties of MSA of 559-737 Å
