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

β-lactams are an important family of antibiotics that are prone to undergo resistance inhibition though the production of β-lactamases by some microorganisms. To combat this resistance and preserve the efficacy of β-lactam antibiotics, we developed a strategy for the discovery of such β-lactamase inhibitors. When combined with β-lactams, these inhibitors allow the antibiotics to be effective and prevent resistance. To date, the development of such combinatory drugs is limited due to the complexity of screening for new β-lactamase inhibitors. Therefore, to facilitate this development, it was essential to find sensitive assays to effectively screen for lactamase inhibitory compounds. To this end, a novel bioassay utilizing bioluminescent indicator bacteria as bioreporters was developed. The assay was first optimized using commercial antibiotics together with known β-lactamase inhibitors. Using this bioassay, we then screened for novel natural β-lactamase inhibitors derived from coral-associated fungi. We showed that the fungus
