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

This study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism of action and further identify main active ingredient by which Radix Paeoniae Rubra extracts (RPRE) inhibited the cross-resistance to tetracycline (TET), piperacillin (PIP), and gentamicin (GEN) mediated by Rhizoma Coptidis extracts (RCE) in Staphylococcus aureus (SA). Treatment with mixed solutions of RCE and RPRE resulted in disappearance of TET, PIP, or GEN resistance compared to what was shown with RCE treatment alone. Fifteen relevant resistant genes (smrB, bmr3, nhoA, BTN44_15030, clpL, hisG, norA, fmtA_1, emrB_1, BTN44_07590, paiA, icaR, BTN44_13995, HMPREF0776_1664 and vraG) were significantly downregulated compared to the RCE-induced mutants. RPRE was sequentially fractionated using macroporous resin and silica gel column chromatography, and all resulting eluates exhibited the antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus ATCC 25923. When exposed to RCE combined with either 30% EE or DCM:MeOH(5:1) eluates, no significant cross-resistance to the tested antibiotics was observed in the induced isolates. Similarly, the expression levels of the fifteen resistant genes were markedly reduced. Furthermore, gallic acid (GA) was identified in the two aforementioned eluates using HPLC-MS. After selection with a mixed solution of RCE and GA, the induced strains displayed no cross-resistance to the tested antibiotics, and the expression of the resistant genes was significantly decreased. These results suggest that GA is a key active ingredient in RPRE responsible for suppressing RCE-mediated cross-resistance to TET, PIP, and GEN in SA.
