Phage Diversity for Research and Application.
Article in Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Bacteriophages (in short, phages) are viruses that specifically recognize and infect bacteria; theyare the most abundant forms of life in the biosphere outnumbering bacteria by an estimated factor ofone order of magnitude [1]. Logically, lytic phages have an enormous potential in human andveterinary medicine as "intelligent antibiotics". In contrast to static antibacterial drugs, phagesself-control their numbers at the locus of bacterial infection as they replicate on the unwantedpathogen and disintegrate into their subunits when the bacterial host is eliminated. [...].
