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

Tetracyclines (TCs) are an important class of antibiotics threatened by an emerging new resistance mechanism─enzymatic inactivation. These TC-inactivating enzymes, also known as tetracycline destructases (TDases), inactivate all known TC antibiotics, including drugs of last resort. Combination therapies consisting of a TDase inhibitor and a TC antibiotic represent an attractive strategy for overcoming this type of antibiotic resistance. Here, we report the structure-based design, synthesis, and evaluation of bifunctional TDase inhibitors derived from anhydrotetracycline (aTC). By appending a nicotinamide isostere to the C9 position of the aTC D-ring, we generated bisubstrate TDase inhibitors. The bisubstrate inhibitors have extended interactions with TDases by spanning both the TC and presumed NADPH binding pockets. This simultaneously blocks TC binding and the reduction of FAD by NADPH while "locking" TDases in an unproductive FAD "out" conformation.
