In vitro and in silico assessment of anti-quorum sensing activity of Naproxen against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Article in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
Serious infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa are usually related to quorum sensing (QS)-dependent virulence factors. Hence, QS inhibition is a promising approach to overcoming P. aeruginosa infections. This study aimed to investigate the effect of naproxen on biofilm formation and QS-related virulence traits of P. aeruginosa. Furthermore, the anti-QS potential of naproxen was evaluated using real-time PCR and molecular docking analysis. Our findings supported the anti-QS activity of naproxen, as evidenced by down-regulation of the lasI and rhlI genes expression as well as the attenuation of bacterial protease, hemolysin, pyocyanin, biofilm, and motility. Additionally, the high binding affinity of naproxen with QS regulatory proteins was determined in the molecular docking simulation. Altogether, these findings suggest that naproxen has a promising potential in inhibiting QS-associated traits of P. aeruginosa.
