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

Infections caused by Gram-negative pathogens pose a major health burden. Both respiratory and gastrointestinal infections are commonly associated with these pathogens. With the increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) over the last decades, bacterial infections may soon become the threat they have been before the discovery of antibiotics. Many Gram-negative pathogens encode virulence-associated Type III and Type IV secretion systems, which they use to inject bacterial effector proteins across bacterial and host cell membranes into the host cell cytosol, where they subvert host cell functions in favor of bacterial replication and survival. These secretion systems are essential for the pathogens to cause disease, and secretion system mutants are commonly avirulent in infection models. Hence, these structures present attractive targets for anti-virulence therapies. Here, we review previously and recently identified inhibitors of virulence-associated bacterial secretions systems and discuss their potential as therapeutics.
