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 outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is one of the major factors contributing to the development of antibiotic resistance, resulting in a lack of effectiveness of several hydrophobic antibiotics. Plantaricin A (PlnA) intensifies the potency of antibiotics by increasing the permeability of the bacterial outer membrane. Moreover, it has been proven to bind to the lipopolysaccharide of Escherichia coli via electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions and to interfere with the integrity of the bacterial outer membrane. Based on this mechanism, we designed a series of PlnA1 analogs by changing the structure, hydrophobicity, and charge to enhance their membrane-permeabilizing ability. Subsequent analyses revealed that among the PlnA1 analogs, OP4 demonstrated the highest penetrating ability, weaker cytotoxicity, and a higher therapeutic index. In addition, it decelerated the development of antibiotic resistance when the E. coli cells were continuously exposed to sublethal concentrations of erythromycin and ciprofloxacin for 30 generations.
