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

Covering: 1994 to 2024Historically, microbial natural product discovery has been predominantly guided by biological activity from crude microbial extracts with metabolite characterization proceeding one molecule at a time. Despite decades of bioactivity-guided isolations, genomic evidence now suggests that we have only accessed a small fraction of the total natural product potential from microorganisms and that the products of the vast majority of biosynthetic pathways remain to be identified. Here we describe recent advancements that have enabled high-throughput mass spectrometry and comparative metabolomics, which in turn facilitate high-throughput natural product discovery. These advancement promise to fully unlock the reservoir of microbial natural products.
