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

Introduction: Bacterial resistance to carbapenems is on the rise, and the failure of common antimicrobials poses a serious challenge in treating infections caused by drug-resistant strains. In this scenario, nanomaterials have received widespread attention in medicine. Methods: In this study, the activity of daidzein-decorated gold nanoparticles (Daidzein_Au NPs) against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) strains was validated via in vivo and in vitro experiments, such as the microdilution broth method, growth curves, time-killing assays, and an abdominal infection model in mice. The potential mechanisms involved were examined using fluorescence quantification of N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine, propidium iodide, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and transcriptomic analysis. Results: Face-centered cubic Daidzein_Au NPs with an average size of 25.78 nm and a negative surface charge were successfully synthesized. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Daidzein_Au NPs against the tested CRE strains was 8-16 μg/mL, and they exerted a good antimicrobial effect during the dynamic killing process. In vivo experiments showed that Daidzein_Au NPs can significantly enhance the survival rate (100%) and reduce the colony load of ascites in mice ( Conclusion: Daidzein_Au NPs exhibit excellent antibacterial activity and are expected to become a promising solution to the threats posed by CRE strains.
