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

Agar dilution was used, and MICs of metronidazole, tizoxanide, nitazoxanide, denitrotizoxanide, RM 4803, RM 4807, RM 4809, RM 4819, amoxicillin-clavulanate, and clindamycin were measured against 412 anaerobes. Nitazoxanide, tizoxanide, RM 4807, and RM 4809 were active against all groups, except for gram-positive non-spore-forming rods with 50% minimum inhibitory concentrations (when the latter were excluded) of 1 to 2 microg/ml and 90% minimum inhibitory concentrations of 4 to 8 microg/ml, respectively. Metronidazole MICs were usually lower against all groups except clostridia.
