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

background/purposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether poly-gamma-glutamic acid (γ-PGA), a naturally derived biomaterial, was suitable as an alternative antibacterial mouthwash in the absence of alcohol. MATERIALS AND

methodsThree bacterial strains,

resultsWe demonstrated that 10000 ppm of γ-PGA without alcohol could efficiently inhibit 99% of bacterial growth. In addition, γ-PGA did not cause any cytotoxicity or genotoxicity.

conclusion10000 ppm of γ-PGA in an alcohol-free mouthwash is an alternative biomaterial for mouthwashes.
