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

Multidrug-resistant urinary tract infections (MDR-UTIs) remain one of the most challenging clinical infections globally owing to the paucity of effective therapeutic agents. Nanozymes-triggered cuproptosis-like bacterial death has emerged as a promising bactericidal strategy. However, its efficacy is compromised by insufficient catalytic sites and suboptimal synergy among active centers. Consequently, the development of nanozymes capable of efficiently inducing cuproptosis-like death holds considerable potential for treating MDR-UTIs. Herein, the Cu-ZIF8-Ru nanozyme was engineered that leverages an asymmetric heterobimetallic Cu─N─Ru bridged catalytic center to achieve efficient multienzyme activities and trigger cuproptosis-like death in MDR-UTIs. Theoretical simulations revealed that introducing Ru sites as secondary catalytic centers upshifts the Cu d-band center, thereby lowering activation barriers and enhancing catalytic activity at the Cu─N─Ru active site. Cu-ZIF8-Ru nanozyme demonstrated strong bactericidal effects against MDR-bacteria by promoting intracellular Cu
