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

Using bacteriophages as a tool to the control of pathogens is a complementary to antibiotic therapy. We have isolated a lytic bacteriophage, designated vB_SauM_JS25, from sewage effluent on a dairy farm in Jiangsu, Mid-east of China for use as a biocontrol agent against Staphylococcus aureus infections. Phage vB_SauM_JS25 was morphologically classified as Myoviridae. The phage showed broad host ranges within S. aureus strains, lysing 51 of 56 strains (91.1 %). Its latent period and burst size were approximately 20 min and 21 PFU/cell, respectively. Phage vB_SauM_JS25 was able to survive in a pH range between 6 and 9. However, a treatment of 70 or 80 °C for 10 min completely inactivated the phage. Moreover, morphologic analysis of vB_SauM_JS25 revealed that it was closely related to other Myoviridae phages infecting Staphylococcus species. The bacteriolytic activity of phage vB_SauM_JS25 at a multiplicity infection (MOI) 1 indicted its efficiency for reducing bacterial growth. These findings suggest that phage vB_SauM_JS25 could be considered a potential therapeutic or prophylactic candidate against S. aureus infection.
