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

A series of 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]thiazepine derivatives have been synthesized and characterized using IR, NMR, GC-MS and microanalysis. The compounds were found to exhibit variable activity against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis and Salmonella typhi with MIC values ranging from 1.88-15 mg/mL. The best activity was observed in compounds 4 and 6 with MIC of 1.875 mg/mL against E. faecalis. Compound 6 was also the most active against S. aureus with MIC of 1.875 mg/mL. The in silico computational docking revealed that the compounds have excellent binding to both multiple targets of E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus dihydrofolate reductase enzymes (PDB ID: 6XG5 and 6P9Z) and good binding to the S. aureus dihydropteroate synthase enzyme (PDB ID: 1ad4). The computational pharmacokinetic study showed that the highly orally bioavailable compounds were not P-gp (p-glycoprotein substrate). The compounds were found to be excellent hERG blockers.
