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

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) has emerged as a worldwide spread nosocomial superbug exhibiting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to all current antibiotics, leaving limited options for treating its infection. To discovery novel antibiotics against CRE, we designed and synthesized a series of 14 isothiazol-3(2H)-one analogues subjected to antibacterial activity evaluation against Escherichia coli (E. coli) BL21 (NDM-1) and clinical strain E. coli HN88 for investigating their structure-activity relationships (SAR). The results suggested that 5-chloroisothiazolone core with an N-(4-chlorophenyl) substitution 5a was the most potent antibacterial activity against the E. coli BL21 (NDM-1) with MIC value of less than 0.032 μg/mL, which was at least 8000-fold higher than the positive control Meropenem (MRM). It also displayed 2048-fold potent than the positive control MRM against E. coli HN88. Additionally, SAR analysis supported the conclusion that compounds with a chloro-group substituted on the 5-position of the heterocyclic ring was much more potent than other positions. The board spectrum analysis suggested that compound 5a showed a promising antimicrobial activity on MRSA and CRE pathogens. Meanwhile, cytotoxicity study of compound 5a suggested that it had a therapeutic index value of 875, suggesting future therapeutic potential. In vivo efficacy study declared that compound 5a could also protect the BALB/c mice against American type culture collection (ATCC) 43,300. Further screening of our compounds against a collection of CRE strains isolated from patients indicated that compound 5 g displayed much stronger antibacterial activity compared with MRM. In conclusion, our studies indicated that isothiazolones analogues could be potent bactericidal agents against CRE and MRSA pathogens.
