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

Elucidating the uptake pathways and cellular localization of bacterial siderophores is important for establishing a fundamental understanding of Fe homeostasis and trafficking. Discerning the same for nonnative siderophores is a key consideration in the translational development of siderophore-antibiotic conjugates for "Trojan-horse" drug delivery. Here, we employ the native triscatecholate siderophore enterobactin (Ent) or its synthetic mimic TRENCAM (TC) conjugated to a Pt(IV) prodrug based on cisplatin to study the localization of these siderophores within various Gram-negative bacteria. The Pt(IV) warhead, which is reductively activated upon delivery to the cytoplasm, targets DNA and provides the readout of filamentous morphology, repurposing the anticancer drug as a probe for bacterial cytoplasmic delivery. By applying TC-Pt(IV) as a delivery probe, we establish that uropathogenic
