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 ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP) darobactin A is a promising new antibiotic candidate with anti-Gram-negative activity inflicted by the inhibition of the novel target BamA. Genome mining revealed many putative darobactin producer strains, but a limited number of compound modification options. In this study, the amber stop codon suppression technique was used to integrate non-canonical amino acids into the bicyclic heptapeptide, creating new darobactin derivatives. The C-terminal phenylalanine was replaced by non-canonical phenylalanine derivatives with different substituents. Darobactin A F7F, featuring a fluorine atom in the para position of the C-terminal phenylalanine, was purified to enable structure validation by NMR. Activity assays revealed antimicrobial potency against selected Gram-negative strains comparable to darobactin A.
