Tannic and gallic acids alter redox-parameters of the medium and modulate biofilm formation.

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.
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
Tannic (TA) and gallic (GA) acids are known to have both anti- and prooxidant properties however recently they have been described as potential anti-biofilm agents although their mechanisms of action on bacterial cells remain obscure. The aim of our research was to elucidate the role of prooxidant actions of these plant phenolic compounds in bactericidal effects and biofilm formation. In our experiments, both compounds demonstrated strong oxidative properties that altered activity of stress regulons and contributed to decrease of CFU and ability of cells to maintain membrane potential. Stimulation of biofilm formation was observed in all the strains with the exception of the strains deficient in flagella synthesis. Both compounds demonstrated bactericidal effect which was weakened in biofilms. TA efficiently killed bacteria in the bioflms of
