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 ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is responsible for severe infections and notoriously known for acquiring antimicrobial resistance. Inhibiting the bacterium's extracellular elastase, LasB - a zinc-dependent protease - presents a promising strategy to mitigate its virulence. Within this medicinal chemistry-driven hit-to-lead optimization campaign, a new series of highly potent dipeptidic phosphonates is designed and synthesized following a structure-based drug-discovery approach. In vitro and in vivo evaluation reveal beneficial pharmacokinetic profiles, excellent selectivity over human off-targets and good tolerability in murine toxicity studies. Ultimately, the scaffold presented herein demonstrates promising in vivo efficacy in a murine Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis model in combination with the antibiotic meropenem.
