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 complex cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria creates a formidable barrier to antibiotic influx. Reduced drug uptake impedes drug development and contributes to a wide range of drug-resistant bacterial infections, including those caused by extremely resistant species prioritized by the World Health Organization. To develop new and efficient treatments, a better understanding of the molecular features governing Gram-negative permeability is essential. Here, we present a data-driven approach, using matched molecular pair analysis and machine learning on minimal inhibitory concentration data from Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria to uncover chemical features that influence Gram-negative bioactivity. We find recurring chemical moieties, of a wider range than previously known, that consistently improve activity and suggest that this insight can be used to optimize compounds for increased Gram-negative uptake. Our findings may help to expand the chemical space of broad-spectrum antibiotics and aid the search for new antibiotic compound classes.
