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

aimThis study aimed to describe the inhibitory activity of cell-free supernatants (CFS) of lactobacilli against extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing MATERIAL AND

methodsPathogenic clinical strains of

resultsAlthough all tested strains were ESBL producers and showed a multidrug-resistant phenotype, the CFS displayed a high anti-ESBL activity with inhibition zone diameters greater than 13 mm in the agar well diffusion assays against both pathogens. The growth kinetics of

conclusionCFS of lactobacilli exhibit anti-ESBL activities, which suggests its potential application for controlling or preventing colonization of infections caused by ESBL-producing bacteria.
