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

Darobactins represent a class of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP) antibiotics featuring a rare bicyclic structure. They target the Bam-complex of Gram-negative bacteria and exhibit in vivo activity against drug-resistant pathogens. First isolated from Photorhabdus species, the corresponding biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) are widespread among γ-proteobacteria, including the genera Vibrio, Yersinia, and Pseudoalteromonas (P.). While the organization of the BGC core is highly conserved, a small subset of Pseudoalteromonas carries an extended BGC with additional genes. Here, we report the identification of brominated and dehydrated darobactin derivatives from P. luteoviolacea strains. The marine derivatives are active against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria and showed solubility and plasma protein binding ability different from darobactin A, rendering it more active than darobactin A. The halogenation reaction is catalyzed by DarH, a new class of flavin-dependent halogenases with a novel fold.
