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 is a distinguishing feature of the Gram-negative envelope. It lies on the external face of the peptidoglycan sacculus and forms a robust permeability barrier that protects extracytoplasmic structures from environmental insults. Overcoming the barrier imposed by the outer membrane presents a significant hurdle towards developing novel antibiotics that are effective against Gram-negative bacteria. As the outer membrane is an essential component of the cell, proteins involved in its biogenesis are themselves promising antibiotic targets. Here, we summarize key findings that have built our understanding of the outer membrane. Foundational studies describing the discovery and composition of the outer membrane as well as the pathways involved in its construction are discussed.
