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

To develop novel antibiotics, targeting the early steps of cell wall peptidoglycan biosynthesis seems to be a promising strategy that is still underutilized. MurA, the first enzyme in this pathway, is targeted by the clinically used irreversible inhibitor fosfomycin. However, mutations in its binding site can cause bacterial resistance. We herein report a series of novel reversible pyrrolidinedione-based MurA inhibitors that equally inhibit wild type (WT) MurA and the fosfomycin-resistant MurA C115D mutant, showing an additive effect with fosfomycin for the inhibition of WT MurA. For the most potent inhibitor
