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

While screening for alternative antibiotics against multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, we isolated a virulent A. baumannii bacteriophage Abp1. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the phage had an icosahedral head with a short tail and should be classified as a member of the Podoviridae family. SDS-PAGE showed that Abp1 contained at least one major and nine minor proteins. In a single-step growth test, we demonstrated that Abp1 had a latent period of 10 min and a burst size of 350. Abp1 also had a relatively narrow host range. The entire genome was sequenced, and the final assembly yielded a 42,185 bp, linear, double-stranded DNA molecule with a G+C content of 39.15 % and containing 54 putative genes. Among these genes, 26 were functionally known, leaving 28 unknown putative genes. Abp1 is a new member of the phiKMV-like virus subgroup of the T7 group; its genome sequence is very similar to that of the A. baumannii phage phiAB1.
