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

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a group-1 definite pathogenic carcinogen that infects approximately half of the global population, yet no species-specific chemotherapy has yet been developed. It is previously discovered that H. pylori encodes an atypical dehydrogenase/isomerase FabX in the Type-II fatty acid biosynthesis pathway to produce unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) as well as superoxide (ROS). Here, it is demonstrated that FabX is essential for H. pylori growth and gastric colonization by retaining UFA synthesis and producing ROS, respectively, and is a species-specific anti-H. pylori drug target. The first small molecule inhibitor FBX-1991 against FabX, which inhibits the enzymatic activity with an IC
