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

High concentration of glucose induces Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) aggregation, but the mechanism of this is still unclear. In this study, the aggregation of S. aureus strains was induced by high concentration of glucose (>7.8 mM), and which was dose- and time-dependent. In addition, the large amount of lactate acid produced during S. aureus aggregation, induced by glucose, resulted in decreased pH value. Lactic acid, the end product of glycolysis, could quickly induce S. aureus aggregation. Except for lactic acid, acetic acid and HCl also induced S. aureus aggregation. In addition, the aggregation of S. aureus strains induced by glucose or lactic acid was completely inhibited in Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5), and inhibition of glycolysis by 2-deoxyglucose significantly decreased S. aureus aggregation. The aggregation induced by glucose was dispersed by periodate and proteinase K. In summary, lactate acid produced by glycolysis contributed to S. aureus aggregation induced by high concentration of glucose.
