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 reports the use of dielectrophoresis (DEP), which determined the crossover frequency (cof) of antibiotic-induced elongation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) with regard to the rapid antibiotic susceptibility test (AST). Different dielectric properties and elongation rates of E. coli are caused by various concentrations of cephalexin treatment. According to the authors' results, significant changes in the cof of bacteria treated with 32 μg∕ml antibiotic for 60 min can be found by using a quadruple electrode array, and the results of DEP-based AST correspond with that of agar dilution method. Utilizing this approach could greatly reduce the period of bacteria growth, and obtain the minimum inhibition concentration of E. coli to cephalexin.
