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

Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 is the primary causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, a rare but severe respiratory infection. While the fatality rate of Legionnaires' disease is low in the general population, it is more pronounced in vulnerable communities such as the immunocompromised. Thus, the development of new antimicrobials is of interest for use when existing antibiotics may not be applicable. Peptide deformylases (PDFs) have been under continued investigation as targets for novel antimicrobial compounds. PDF plays an essential role in protein synthesis, removing the N-terminal formyl group from new polypeptides, and is required for growth in most bacteria. Here, we report two crystal structures of L. pneumophila serogroup 1 PDF (LpPDF) bound to either Ni
