Antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory activity of glycerol dithionomonolaurate, an analog of glycerol monolaurate.

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.
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
Glycerol dithionomonolaurate (NB2) is an analog of the natural antimicrobial compound glycerol monolaurate (GML) with enhanced antimicrobial activity. The advantage of NB2 over GML is the presence of a dithionate to greatly reduce microbial cleavage through glycerol ester hydrolases, such as IMPORTANCE: Fungi and many bacteria commonly develop resistance to antimicrobial agents or have inherent resistance. Many microbes initiate infections through the skin and mucous membranes, in part by producing toxins and causing harmful inflammation. We describe a novel topical antimicrobial agent, glycerol dithionomonolaurate (NB2), effective against
