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

Background: Bacterial resistance to multiple drugs has recently emerged as a serious health problem. Concomitantly, the characterization of new substances with potential antimicrobial activity has been less frequent in the drug development industry. The overexpression of genes encoding efflux pumps that expel antimicrobial drugs from the intracellular environment, lowering these to subinhibitory concentrations, are among the resistance mechanisms predisposing microorganisms to high drug resistance. Method: Ferulic acid derivatives were obtained by esterification and then characterized by hydrogen and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of ferulic acid and its esterified derivatives, ethidium bromide, and antibiotics were obtained using the microdilution test, while the efflux pump inhibition test was conducted by examining reduction in the MICs. Results: Propylferulate was seen to reduce the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of both the control substance ethidium bromide and the tested antibiotic, indicating that this compound is promising for the use of efflux pump inhibition of IS-58 strains. Conclusions: This study provides strong evidence that the molecular basis for this activity is potentially due to the MsrA and TetK efflux pumps. However, further investigations are necessary to prove this hypothesis and elucidate the potentiating mechanism of the modulatory effect.
