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

Reactive oxygen species - superoxide, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals - have long been suspected of constraining bacterial growth in important microbial habitats and indeed of shaping microbial communities. Over recent decades, studies of paradigmatic organisms such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Bacillus subtilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae have pinpointed the biomolecules that oxidants can damage and the strategies by which microbes minimize their injuries. What is lacking is a good sense of the circumstances under which oxidative stress actually occurs. In this MiniReview several potential natural sources of oxidative stress are considered: endogenous ROS formation, chemical oxidation of reduced species at oxic-anoxic interfaces, H
