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

Marine microorganisms have proven to be a rich source of natural products with unique structures and novel activities, due to their special living conditions. Macrolactins (MLNs), mostly produced by marine-derived microorganisms, are a group of 24-membered lactone natural products, which exhibit potent antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic and other activities. Their extensive biological activities make them potential compounds for drug development. MLNs are biosynthesized via a type I polyketide synthase (PKS) pathway with different tailoring steps, such as epoxidation, glycosylation and acylation. These modification steps provide opportunities to diversify their structures by combinatorial biosynthesis strategies. This review mainly focuses on the newly discovered MLNs in the past five years, including their biological activities and relevant biosynthetic studies.
