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 unabated rise of antibiotic resistance has raised the specter of a post-antibiotic era and underscored the importance of developing new classes of antibiotics. The relacidines are a recently discovered group of nonribosomal lipopeptide antibiotics that show promising activity against Gram-negative pathogens and share structural similarities with brevicidine and laterocidine. While the first reports of the relacidines indicated that they possess a C-terminal five-amino acid macrolactone, an N-terminal lipid tail, and an overall positive charge, no stereochemical configuration was assigned, thereby precluding a full structure determination. To address this issue, we here report a bioinformatics guided total synthesis of relacidine A and B and show that the authentic natural products match our predicted and synthesized structures. Following on this, we also synthesized an analogue of relacidine A wherein the ester linkage of the macrolactone was replaced by the corresponding amide. This analogue was found to possess enhanced hydrolytic stability while maintaining the antibacterial activity of the natural product in both
