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 global spread of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamases (NDMs) has exacerbated the antimicrobial resistance crisis. This study resolved the crystal structure of NDM-1 hydrolyzing amoxicillin for the first time, revealed that the hydroxyl group in the R1 moiety of amoxicillin anchors a key water molecule (Wat1) via hydrogen bond, inducing a conformational shift in Met67 (average displacement of 3.8 Å compared to its position in complexes with ampicillin, penicillin G, and penicillin V) and impairing the hydrophobic interaction between the loop 3 and the substrate. Molecular dynamics simulations confirmed that the π-π stacking contact time between amoxicillin and the L3 critical residue Phe70 decreased to 4.3 % (ampicillin: 12.3 %), with a binding energy reduction of 10.5 kcal/mol. Steady-state kinetics showed that amoxicillin exhibited a 2.2-fold higher
