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

backgroundStreptophenazines, a class of phenazine compounds with a variety of alkyl side chains and activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), are mainly derived from soil or marine microbial secondary metabolites. However, the discovered phenazine compounds still do not meet the needs of the development of anti-MRSA lead compounds. Here, we examined secondary metabolites of Streptomyces albovinaceus WA10-1-8 isolated from Periplaneta americana, for streptophenazines with anti-MRSA activity.

resultsIn this study, a guidance method combining high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) with molecular networking analysis was used to isolate and identify a series of streptophenazines (A-T) from S. albovinaceus WA10-1-8. Among them, a new streptophenazine containing a dihydroxyalkyl chain structure named streptophenazine T was isolated and identified for the first time. The results of bioactivity assays showed that streptophenazine T had anti-MRSA activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 150.23 µM, while the MICs of streptophenazine A, B, G, and F were 37.74-146.12 µM.

conclusionsThis study was the first to report multiple streptophenazine compounds with anti-MRSA activity expressed by Streptomyces isolated from insect niches. These results provided a valuable reference for future exploration of new streptophenazine compounds with activity against drug-resistant bacteria.
