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

Marine fungus-derived natural products are an important source of new drugs and lead compounds. In this study, guided by the Global Natural Products Social (GNPS) molecular networking strategy, four new cyclohexenone derivatives, aspergiflones A-D (1-4), together with three known analogues (5-7), were isolated from the coral-derived fungus Aspergillus flavus. The structures of these compounds were elucidated through extensive spectroscopic analyses, comparison with literature data, hydrolysis reactions, quantum chemical calculations, and TDDFT-ECD calculations. Structurally, aspergiflone A (1) is a novel cyclohexenone dimer featuring an unprecedented skeleton in which two cyclohexenone units are connected at C-15 via a C-C single bond. Compound 1 exhibited potent antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli. Mechanism studies revealed that compound 1 disrupts bacterial cell morphology, increases cell membrane permeability, and decreases intracellular K
