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

Bacillus cereus is a food pathogen that can attach on most of the surfaces and form biofilms, which facilitate the persistence and resistance toward antimicrobials. The aims of this study were (i) to characterize the structural dynamics of B. cereus sessile growth in two nutritional environments (with or without a nutrient flow), and (ii) to evaluate the impact of bio adhesion of Lactococcus lactis on B. cereus biofilm. Significantly greater biofilm volume and thickness were observed under dynamic conditions than under static conditions after 48 h and B. cereus biofilm was highly organized. The variation of physico-chemical characteristics of silicone by B. cereus bio adhesion favours the adhesion of hydrophilic Lc. lactis on the surface adhered by biofilm. Lc. lactis was able to adhere to silicone surface and produce biofilm obviously exhibited a significant reduction of B. cereus adhered cells up to nine orders of magnitude after 48 h of contact with competitive activity for nutrient and oxygen. This study constitutes a step ahead in developing strategies to prevent microbial colonization of silicone with lactococcal protective biofilm.
