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

Serratia marcescens, a Gram-negative bacterium (Enterobacteriaceae) is a hospital-acquired opportunistic pathogen that infects the urinary and central nervous systems. The identification of new therapeutics against S. marcescens is crucial since it is now multi-drug resistant. Therefore, the current study was aimed to identify potential drug targets against S. marcescens strains i.e. WW4, SM39, and Db11 using comparative metabolic pathway analysis and subtractive genomics approach. The applied bioinformatics-based method was used to identify the unique metabolic pathways as the prioritized drug targets. The downstream analysis has led to the identification of three pathways that are specifically absent and/or present in the specific strain. Consequently, six proteins were identified through subtractive genomic analysis. The identified proteins were found as non-homologous and essential to the pathogen's survival as well as unique to the WW4 strain. The estimated features proposed it as a potential drug target. The selected protein was further subjected to in-depth structural analysis for the structure modeling, structure validation, and protein-protein interaction analysis. Furthermore, the library of ~1500 approved compounds was screened against selected drug target to identify potential drug candidates. The current work may help in repurposing of the drug compounds as novel medication against S. marcescens.
