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

introductionThe emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria and biofilms requires discovering new antimicrobial agents from unexplored environments.

objectivesThis study aims to isolate and characterize a new actinobacterial strain from the Hoggar Mountains in southern Algeria and evaluate its ability to produce bioactive molecules with potential antibacterial and antibiofilm activities.

methodsA novel halotolerant actinobacterial strain, designated HG-17, was isolated from the Hoggar Mountains, and identified based on phenotypic characterizations, 16S rDNA sequence analysis, and phylogenetic analysis. The antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of the strain were assessed, and the presence of biosynthetic genes (PKS-I and NRPS) was confirmed. Two active compounds, HG-7 and HG-9, were extracted butanol solvent, purified by HPLC, and their chemical structures were elucidated using ESI mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy.

resultsThe strain HG-17 was identified as Streptomyces purpureus NBRC with 98.8% similarity. It exhibited strong activity against multidrug-resistant and biofilm-forming bacteria. The two purified active compounds, HG-7 and HG-9, were identified as cyclo-(d-cis-hydroxyproline-l-phenylalanine) and cyclo-(l-prolone-l-tyrosine), respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of HG-7 and HG-9 ranged from 3 to 15 μg/mL, comparable to the MICs of tetracycline (8 to 15 μg/mL). Their minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC 50%) showed good inhibition from 48.0 to 52.0% at concentrations of 1 to 7 μg/mL against the tested bacteria.

conclusionThis is the first report of cyclo-(d-cis-hydroxyproline-l-phenylalanine) and cyclo-(l-prolone-l-tyrosine) antibiotics from S. purpureus and their anti-multi-drug-resistant and biofilm-forming bacteria. These results indicate that both antibiotics could be used as effective therapeutics to control infections associated with multidrug-resistant bacteria.
