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

backgroundThe emergence of multidrug- or extensively drug-resistant

methodsA bacteriophage was isolated from hospital sewage using an extensively drug-resistant

resultsPhage IME200 yielded clear plaques surrounded by enlarged halos, with polysaccharide depolymerase activity against the host bacterium. A tail fiber protein with a Pectate_lyase_3 domain was identified as Dpo48 and characterized . Dpo48 was found to degrade the capsule polysaccharide of the bacterial surface, as revealed by Alcian blue staining. Dpo48 manifested stable activity over a broad range of pH (5.0-9.0) and temperatures (20-70 °C). Results from

conclusionsPhage-encoded capsule depolymerases may become promising antivirulence agents for preventing and controlling
