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

introductionUnder well-defined experimental conditions, and in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, lactoperoxidase produces stable iodine-thiocyanate complexes that have antimicrobial properties. A novel process was developed to short circuit the consumption of hydrogen peroxide by microbial catalases by producing iodine-thiocyanate complexes prior to contact with microorganisms, with the aim of being able to decontaminate the ex vivo dentures colonized by yeasts. MATERIALS AND

methodsTeabags containing lactoperoxidase adsorbed on inert clay beads were immersed for 1 minute in phosphate buffer solution (0.1 M pH 7.4) containing 5.2 mM potassium iodide, 1.2 mM potassium thiocyanate, and 5.5 mM hydrogen peroxide. After removing the adsorbed lactoperoxidase, the stability and efficacy of iodine-thiocyanate complexes for

resultsIn vitro tests demonstrated the effectiveness of the oxidant solution in sterilizing a suspension of 10

conclusionThese data suggest a promising new strategy for decontamination of dentures.
