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 (AMR) is a mounting global health challenge projected to cause up to 10 million deaths annually by 2050. Despite advances in antibiotic discovery, the rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) pathogens undermines modern medicine, threatening procedures such as surgery, chemotherapy, and organ transplantation. Conventional antibiotics face increasing limitations due to target-site mutations, efflux mechanisms, enzymatic degradation, and biofilm-associated tolerance, underscoring the urgent need for novel antimicrobial strategies. Phenazines, particularly 1-hydroxyphenazine (1-HP), represent promising alternatives owing to their redox activity, broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, and ecological roles in microbial competition. Recent advances highlight the potential of 1-HP as both a virulence factor and a therapeutic scaffold, with applications spanning agriculture, biotechnology, and medicine. Synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, and nanocarrier-based delivery systems have enabled scalable production and reduced toxicity, while structural modifications such as halogenation have expanded therapeutic potential. This review consolidates historical, mechanistic, and translational insights into 1-HP, emphasizing its dual role as a pathogenic metabolite and a lead compound for future antimicrobial and anticancer development.
