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/

objectiveAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a global controversial issue, making conventional treatments less effective. Hence, the design and development of new and efficient antimicrobial agents are on the researchers' agenda to reduce death rates and health care costs. In this regard, chlorine-containing compounds have been the center of attention. This review highlights the antimicrobial potential of chlorine-containing natural and semi-synthetic compounds, aiming to identify versatile candidates effective against microorganisms.

methodsThe literature was comprehensively surveyed using Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed, focusing on studies published since 2016, focusing on the antimicrobial properties of natural and semi-synthetic chlorinated compounds.

resultsNatural chlorinated compounds have shown remarkable antimicrobial activity, generally more potent than their semi-synthetic counterparts. DISCUSSION: The strong activity against resistant strains like MRSA underlines their therapeutic potential in addressing pressing clinical challenges. Nature-derived scaffolds serve as a promising foundation for the development of novel antimicrobial agents.

conclusionSeveral naturally occurring compounds have proven more effective than their semisynthetic derivatives, making them attractive candidates for addressing the growing threat of AMR.
