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

Eight depsidone derivatives (1-8), including three new compounds designated as westersidones A-C (1-3), were isolated from Westerdykella dispersa CS-734, an endozoic fungus derived from the deep-sea cold seep mussel Gigantidas platifrons. Their structures were elucidated through extensive spectroscopic analysis, including HRESIMS, NMR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Remarkably, compound 1 represents a rare and unprecedented hybrid natural product formed by the fusion of a depsidone and a naphtho-γ-pyrone skeleton. The antibacterial activities against human and aquatic pathogens of the isolated compounds were assayed. Notably, compound 8 exhibited the most potent activity against several tested strains, with MICs 4-16 µg/mL, underscoring the critical role of the C-4 aldehyde group in enhancing antimicrobial potency.
