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

3',5' Cyclic diguanylic acid (c-di-GMP) has been shown to play a central role in the regulation of bacterial physiological processes such as biofilm formation and virulence production, and is regarded as a potential target for the development of anti-infective drugs. A method for the facile detection of the bacterial level of cellular c-di-GMP is required to explore the details of c-di-GMP signaling and design drugs on the basis of this pathway. Current methods of c-di-GMP detection have limited sensitivity or difficultly in probe preparation. Herein a new fluorescent probe is reported for the detection of c-di-GMP at concentrations as low as 500 nM. The probe was developed on the basis of the G-quadruplex formation of c-di-GMP induced by aromatic molecules. When used on crude bacterial cell lysates, it can effectively distinguish between the low c-di-GMP levels of bacteria in plankton and the high c-di-GMP levels in biofilm. The method described here is simple, inexpensive, sensitive, and suitable for practical applications involving the rapid detection of cellular c-di-GMP levels
