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 design of inhibitors against metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), the largest family of carbapenemases, has been a strategic goal in designing novel antimicrobial therapies. In this regard, the development of bicyclic boronates, such as taniborbactam (TAN) and xeruborbactam, is a major achievement that may help in overcoming the threat of MBL-producing and carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative pathogens. Of concern, a recent report has shown that New Delhi MBL-9 (NDM-9) escapes the inhibitory action of TAN by a single amino acid substitution with respect to New Delhi MBL-1 (NDM-1), the most widely disseminated MBL. Here, we report a docking and computational analysis that identifies that "escape variants" against TAN can arise by disruption of the electrostatic interaction of negative charges in the active site loops of MBLs with the N-(2-aminoethyl)cyclohexylamine side chain of TAN. These changes result in non-productive binding modes of TAN that preclude reaction with the MBLs, a phenomenon that is not restricted to NDM-9. This analysis demonstrates that single amino acid substitutions in non-essential residues in MBL loops can unexpectedly elicit resistance to TAN.
