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

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) continues to spread worldwide and remains one of the leading causes of death among infectious diseases. The enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (InhA) belongs to FAS-II family and is essential for the formation of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell wall. Recent years, InhA direct inhibitors have been extensively studied to overcome MDR-TB. However, there are still no inhibitors that have entered clinical research. Here, the ensemble docking-based virtual screening along with biological assay were used to identify potent InhA direct inhibitors from Chembridge, Chemdiv, and Specs. Ultimately, 34 compounds were purchased and first assayed for the binding affinity, of which four compounds can bind InhA well with K
