Temperature and pH affect the production of bacterial biofilm.
Article in Folia microbiologica, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 65 papers.
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.
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
The effect of different cultivation temperatures (30 and 37 degrees C) and pH of the media (5.5, 7.5, 8.5) on the biofilm production was compared in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Vibrio cholerae non-O1 and O1 using the crystal-violet test for estimation of quantitative production of the biofilm. Decrease (46.4-98.4 %) in the biofilm production was observed at 37 degrees C in 8 of the tested strains (P. aeruginosa three strains, K pneumoniae two, V. cholerae non-O1 two, and V. cholerae O1 one strain) compared with the production at 30 degrees C. On the other hand, five strains (P. aeruginosa 1, K. pneumoniae 3, V. cholerae non-O1 1) exhibited under these conditions a higher biofilm production (103-143 %). However, this difference was not significant (p = 0.196). Increased pH lead to a higher biofilm production using all media tested. In P. aeruginosa the biofilm production at pH 8.5 was 139-244 %, at pH 7.5 136-164 % in comparison with pH 5.5. Similarly, in K. pneumoniae the biofilm production increased to 151-319 % at pH 8.5 while with the drop of pH to 7.5 the biofilm production was 113-177 % compared with pH 5.5. In V. cholerae non-O1 and O1 the biofilm production reached 204-329 % at pH 8.5, and 123-316 % at pH 7.5 (compared with the production at pH 5.5). An increase in biofilm production represented an average of 169 % (p = 0.001) at pH change from 5.5 to 7.5, with the rise of pH from 5.5 to 8.5 caused an average difference of 229 % (p = 0.001).
