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

Salmonella enterica serovars cause millions of infections each year that result either in typhoid fever or salmonellosis. Among those serovars that cause typhoid fever, Salmonella enterica subspecies Typhi can form biofilms on gallstones in the gallbladders of acutely-infected patients, leading to chronic carriage of the bacterium. These biofilms are recalcitrant to antibiotic-mediated eradication, leading to chronic fecal shedding of the bacteria, which results in further disease transmission. Herein, we report the synthesis and anti-biofilm activity of a 55-member library of small molecules based upon a previously identified hit that both inhibits and disrupts S. Typhi and S. Typhimurium (a nontyphoidal model serovar for S. Typhi) biofilms. Lead compounds inhibit S. Typhimurium biofilm formation in vitro at sub-micromolar concentrations, and disperse biofilms with five-fold greater potentency than the parent compound. Three of the most promising compounds demonstrated synergy with ciprofloxacin in a murine model of chronic Salmonella carriage. This work furthers the development of effective anti-biofilm agents as a promising therapeutic avenue for the eradication of typhoidal Salmonella.
