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

Antimicrobial resistance is a critical global healthcare issue that urgently needs the development of new antimicrobial agents. Herein, we developed new and discrete cationic amphipathic cyclic peptidomimetics as potential antimicrobial agents to combat multidrug-resistant bacteria. These cyclic oligomers of different alkyl chain lengths are easy to obtain via carbodiimide-mediated condensation reaction and using aza-crown ether as the core reactant. The antimicrobial activity, membrane perturbation effects, and toxicity of the compounds are strongly dependent on the hydrophobic alkyl chain length, as longer lipid chains result in greater antimicrobial potency and membrane disruption but also poorer biocompatibility. For example, cyclic compound bearing 16-carbon chain (CYPEP-C16) has the best bacteriostatic activity against several bacteria strains with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 16 µg mL
