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

Biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces in the food and medical industry can cause severe contamination and infection, yet how biological and physical factors determine the cellular architecture of early biofilms and the bacterial behavior of the constituent cells remains largely unknown. In this study, we examined the specific role of type I fimbriae in nascent stages of biofilm formation and the response of microcolonies to environmental flow shear at the single-cell resolution. The results show that type I fimbriae are not required for reversible adhesion from plankton, but they are critical for the irreversible adhesion of
