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

An impermeable outer membrane and multidrug efflux pumps work in concert to provide Gram-negative bacteria with intrinsic resistance against many antibiotics. These resistance mechanisms reduce the intracellular concentrations of antibiotics and render them ineffective. The natural product thiomarinol A combines holothin, a dithiolopyrrolone antibiotic, with marinolic acid A, a close analogue of mupirocin. The hybridity of thiomarinol A converts the mupirocin scaffold from inhibiting Gram-positive bacteria to inhibiting both Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. We found that thiomarinol A accumulates significantly more than mupirocin within the Gram-negative bacterium
