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
Infectious diseases are the significant global health problem because of drug resistance to most classes of antimicrobials. Interest is growing in the development of new antimicrobials in pharmaceutical discovery. For that reason, the urgency for scientists to find and/or develop new important molecules is needed. Many natural active molecules that exhibit various biological activities have been isolated from the nature. For the present research, a new selected set of aminobenzoquinones, denoted as plastoquinone analogs (PQ1-24), was employed for their in vitro antimicrobial potential in a panel of seven bacterial strains (three Gram-positive and four Gram-negative bacteria) and three fungi. The results revealed PQ analogs with specific activity against bacteria including Staphylococcus epidermidis and pathogenic fungi, including Candida albicans. PQ8 containing methoxy group at the ortho position on the phenylamino moiety exhibited the highest growth inhibition against S. epidermidis with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 9.76 μg/mL. The antifungal profile of all PQ analogs indicated that five analogs (while PQ1, PQ8, PQ9, PQ11, and PQ18 were effective against Candida albicans, PQ1 and PQ18 were effective against Candida tropicalis) have potent antifungal activity. Selected analogs, PQ1 and PQ18, were studied for biofilm evaluation and time-kill kinetic study for better understanding.
