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

Four previously undescribed polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols, hyperisenins A-D (1-4), along with two known analogues (5 and 6), were obtained from the aerial part of Hypericum seniawinii Maxim. Compounds 1 and 2 were two highly degraded polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols with a cyclohexanone-monocyclic skeleton, while compound 3 was the first example of O-prenylated acylphloroglucinols with a 6/6/6 ring system. Their structures were identified by analyzing NMR, HRESIMS data, and quantum chemical calculations. The biosynthetic pathway of 1 and 2 might originate from bicyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols via a series of complex retro-Claisen, keto - enol tautomerism, and intramolecular cyclization. The bioassay results showed that 4 exhibited quorum sensing inhibitory activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which could decrease the activation of the rhl system, and significantly reduce rhamnolipid levels at a concentration of 100 µM, and the mechanism might be the ability to bind 4 to lasR and pqsR.
