Computational elucidation of the binding mechanisms of curcumin analogues as bacterial RecA inhibitors.
Article in RSC advances, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) presents as a serious threat to global public health, which urgently demands action to develop alternative antimicrobial strategies with minimized selective pressure. The bacterial SOS response regulator RecA has emerged as a promising target in the exploration of new classes of antibiotic adjuvants, as RecA has been implicated in bacterial mutagenesis and thus AMR development through its critical roles in error-prone DNA repair. The natural product curcumin has been reported to be an effective RecA inhibitor in several Gram-negative bacteria, but details on the underlying mechanisms are wanting. In order to bridge the gap in how curcumin operates as a RecA inhibitor, we used computational approaches to model interactions between RecA protein and curcumin analogues. We first identified potential binding sites on
