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 looming antibiotic-resistance problem has imposed an enormous crisis on global public health and agricultural development. Even worse, the evolution and widespread distribution of antibiotic-resistance elements in bacterial pathogens have made the resurgence of diseases that were once easily treatable deadly again. The development of antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action is urgently required.

objectivesInspired by charming activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) technology and increasing attention to quinazolines in the development of antibacterial agents, this study engineered a series of new quinazoline derivatives, assessed their antibacterial profiles, and first identified the possible target.

methodsThe target identification and their possible binding sites were verified by ABPP technology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamic simulations. The fatty acid synthesis process was analyzed by gas chromatography, propidium iodide staining, and scanning electron microscopy. The physicochemical properties and fungicide-likeness were evaluated using the Fungicide Physicochemical-properties Analysis Database.

resultsCompound 7a, an acrylamide-functionalized quinazoline derivative, exhibited excellent antibacterial potency against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae with an EC

conclusionOur research highlights the superiority of ABPP technology, for the first time, identifies the target of engineered quinazolines in pathogenic bacteria, and their potential target fished by ABPP tools holds great promise for the development of quinazoline-based and/or FabF-targeted bactericides.
