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

Emerging resistance to all available antibiotics highlights the need to develop new antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action. Most of the currently used antibiotics target Gram-positive bacteria while Gram-negative bacteria easily bypass the action of most drug molecules because of their unique outer membrane. This additional layer acts as a potent barrier restricting the entry of compounds into the cell. In this scenario, several approaches have been elucidated to increase the accumulation of compounds into Gram-negative bacteria. This review includes a brief description of the physicochemical properties that can aid compounds to enter and accumulate in Gram-negative bacteria and covers different strategies to target or bypass the outer membrane-mediated barrier in Gram-negative bacterial pathogens.
