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

The antimicrobial properties of garlic are widely known, and numerous studies confirmed its ability to inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In this work, we explored the molecular mechanism of action of sulphides present in garlic essential oil against mycobacteria. The targeted transcriptomics and untargeted LC-MS metabolomics were applied to study dose- and time-dependent metabolic changes in bacterial cells under the influence of stressing agent. Expression profiles of genes coding stress-responsive sigma factors regulatory network and metabolic observations proved that sulphides from garlic essential oil are an efficient and specific agent affecting glycerophospholipids levels and their distribution within the cell envelope. Additionally, sulphides induced the Dimroth rearrangement of 1-Tuberculosinyladenosine to N6-tuberculosinyladenosine in mycobacterial cells as a possible neutralization mechanism protecting the cell from a basic nucleophilic environment. Sulphides affected cell envelope lipids and formation of N6-tuberculosinyladenosine in M. tuberculosis.
