Article in Iranian journal of basic medical sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

objectivesPhage therapy is a potential alternative treatment for infections caused by MATERIALS AND

methodsBacteriophages were isolated to highly resistant isolates of

resultsUp to 23 isolates of extensive- and pan- drug resistant (XDR, PDR)

conclusionThe phage therapy assessed in this study showed an ability to efficiently solve the problems of "superbug" bacteria by lysing effectively most XDR, PDR bacteria
