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

Natural products have proven themselves as a valuable resource for antibiotics. However, in view of increasing antimicrobial resistance, there is an urgent need for new, structurally diverse agents that have the potential to overcome resistance and treat Gram-negative pathogens in particular. Historically, the search for new antibiotics was strongly focussed on the very successful Actinobacteria. On the other hand, other producer strains have been under-sampled and their potential for the production of bioactive natural products has been underestimated. In this mini-review, we highlight prominent examples of novel anti-Gram negative natural products produced by Gram-negative bacteria that are currently in lead optimisation or preclinical development. Furthermore, we will provide insights into the considerations and strategies behind the discovery of these agents and their putative applications.
