Navigating the complexities of drug development for metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors.
Review in RSC medicinal chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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 rising antibiotic resistance rates, especially among carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales with metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), highlight the urgent need for effective MBL inhibitors (MBLIs). Navigating the complexities of drug development for MBLIs requires addressing the significant challenges that have hindered its progress. Despite numerous efforts in pre-clinical development, the lack of standardized approaches has led to disparities, stalling the translation of potential MBLIs from research into clinical use. Alarmingly, there is only one metallo-β-lactamase inhibitory candidate in the pre-registration phase of development. This review highlights the need for a global consensus on key aspects of MBLI development, including standardized
