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

Among several distinct mechanisms used by bacteria to circumvent antibiotic stress, a predominant form of resistance to ribosome-targeting compounds is the methylation of their ribosomal RNA (rRNA) binding sites. The acquisition of aminoglycoside-resistance methyltransferases that modify 16S rRNA nucleotides in the ribosome decoding center, for example, results in exceptionally high-level aminoglycoside resistance and poses a major threat to their future clinical utility. Here, we report the discovery of a first-in-class panel of small-molecule inhibitors that target a previously unexploited composite "Y-shaped" binding pocket that is unique to the 30S subunit (substrate)-bound form of the 16S rRNA (m
