Susceptibility of Selected Multi-Drug Resistant Clinical Isolates to Leaves of
Article in Ethiopian journal of health sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundThe decline in the production of new effective antibiotics coupled with the constantly evolving antimicrobial resistance remains a public health concern. This study thus evaluated the antibacterial and antifungal effects of the ethanolic, n-hexane and hot aqueous extracts of Carpolobialutea leaves.
methodsThe extracts were tested using agar well diffusion method against selected clinical isolates: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. Antibiogram profile of the isolates were deduced by disc diffusion method.
resultsMulti-drug resistance was confirmed in all bacteria with a notable pandrug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Ofloxacin, Erythromycin and Gentamicin were effective on two or three organisms, notably on Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli. The preliminary antibacterial assay marked the efficacy of the ethanol and n-hexane extracts except on E. coli, with zero activity for hot water extracts at the stock concentration (200 mg/ml). Pseudomonas aeruginosaand Candida albicans were susceptible to lesser concentrations of the ethanol extracts at 5 mg/ml and 25 mg/ml respectively. None of the isolates showed sensitivity to lesser concentrations of n-hexane extract. Carpolobia lutea leaves proved to be effective over the use of antibiotics in inhibiting the activity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa which was resistant to the latter. The Minimum Inhibitory concentration of the ethanolic extract was considerably low (≤5mg/ml for P. aeruginosa and 25mg/ml for C. albicans). However, there was no Minimum Bactericidal concentration for the extracts against the clinical isolates.
conclusionCarpolobia lutea shelters bioactive components with pharmacological potentials that could show efficiency in the treatment of bacterial infections.
