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

Biofilms in nature typically consist of multiple species, and microbial interactions are likely to have crucial effects on biofilm development, structure, and functions. The best-understood form of communication within bacterial communities involves the production, release, and detection of signal molecules (autoinducers), known as quorum sensing. Although autoinducers mainly promote intraspecies communication, autoinducer 2 (AI-2) is produced and detected by a variety of bacteria, thus principally allowing interspecies communication. Here we show the importance of AI-2-mediated signaling in the formation of mixed biofilms by
