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

Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of severe infections, and its widespread antibiotic resistance necessitates search for alternative therapies, such as inhibition of virulence. As S. aureus produces multiple individual virulence factors, inhibition of an entire regulatory system might provide better effects than targeting each virulence factor separately. Herein, we describe two novel inhibitors of S. aureus two-component regulatory system ArlRS: 3,4'-dimethoxyflavone and homopterocarpin. Unlike other putative ArlRS inhibitors previously identified, these two compounds were effective and specific.
