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

Imidazole derivatives are considered potential chemical compounds that could be therapeutically effective against several harmful pathogenic microbes. The chemical structure of imidazole, with a five-membered heterocycle, three carbon atoms, and two double bonds, tends to show antibacterial activities. In the present study, novel imidazole derivatives were designed and synthesized to be evaluated as antimicrobial agents owing to the low number of attempts to discover new antimicrobial agents and the emerging cases of antimicrobial resistance. Two imidazole compounds were prepared and evaluated as promising candidates regarding in vitro cytotoxicity against human skin fibroblast cells and antimicrobial activity against several bacterial strains. The synthesized imidazole derivatives were chemically identified using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results demonstrated a relatively high cell viability of one of the imidazole derivatives, i.e., HL2, upon 24 and 48 h cell exposure. Both derivatives were able to inhibit the growth of the tested bacterial strains. This study provides valuable insight into the potential application of imidazole derivatives for treating microbial infections; however, further in vitro and in vivo studies are required to confirm their safety and effectiveness.
