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

Bacterial DNA primase DnaG is an attractive target for antibiotic discovery since it plays an essential role in DNA replication. Over the last 10 years, we have developed and optimized a robust colorimetric assay that enabled us to identify and validate inhibitors of bacterial primases. Here, we provide a detailed protocol for this colorimetric assay for DnaG from three different pathogenic bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Bacillus anthracis, and Staphylococcus aureus), which can be performed in high throughput. We also describe secondary assays to characterize hits from this high-throughput screening assay. These assays are designed to identify inhibitors of the coupled enzyme inorganic pyrophosphatase, DNA binding agents, and elucidate the mode of inhibition of primase inhibitors.
