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

The increasing antimicrobial resistance has seriously threatened human health worldwide over the last three decades. This severe medical crisis and the dwindling antibiotic discovery pipeline require the development of novel antimicrobial treatments to combat life-threatening infections caused by multidrug-resistant microbial pathogens. However, the detailed mechanisms of action, resistance, and toxicity of many antimicrobials remain uncertain, significantly hampering the development of novel antimicrobials. Genome-scale metabolic model (GSMM) has been increasingly employed to investigate microbial metabolism. In this review, we discuss the latest progress of GSMM in antimicrobial pharmacology, particularly in elucidating the complex interplays of multiple metabolic pathways involved in antimicrobial activity, resistance, and toxicity. We also highlight the emerging areas of GSMM applications in modeling non-metabolic cellular activities (e.g., gene expression), identification of potential drug targets, and integration with machine learning and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling. Overall, GSMM has significant potential in elucidating the critical role of metabolic changes in antimicrobial pharmacology, providing mechanistic insights that will guide the optimization of dosing regimens for the treatment of antimicrobial-resistant infections.
