Effects of Cefazolin and Meropenem in Eradication Biofilms of Clinical and Environmental Isolates of Proteus mirabilis.
Article in Current microbiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Proteus mirabilis is an opportunistic Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae and is known for its ability to cause urinary tract infections. The aim of this study was to determine the value of the minimum concentration of cefazolin and meropenem on biofilm eradication, as well as the resistance profiles and genetic diversity of clinical and environmental isolates of P. mirabilis. We compared the isolates collected from a hospital environment and from an urban stream impacted in Recife-Pernambuco, Brazil. Biochemical tests were performed to determine the profiles of susceptibility, hydrophobicity, biofilm formation and eradication. The genetic diversity was verified using the ERIC-PCR method. The results revealed that two clinical isolates (ICP4 and ICP5) were multi-drug resistant, whereas the environmental isolates showed resistance only to tetracycline, except for CP
