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

Pathogenic bacteria possess a remarkable ability to adapt to fluctuating host environments and cause infection. Disturbing bacterial central metabolism through inhibition of 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase (DXPS) has the potential to hinder bacterial adaptation, representing a new antibacterial strategy. DXPS functions at a critical metabolic branchpoint to produce the metabolite DXP, a precursor to pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP), thiamin diphosphate (ThDP) and isoprenoids presumed essential for metabolic adaptation in nutrient-limited host environments. However, specific roles of DXPS in bacterial adaptations that rely on vitamins or isoprenoids have not been studied. Here we investigate DXPS function in an adaptation of uropathogenic
