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

Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is an attractive treatment modality for multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. The effectiveness of photosensitization by anionic photosensitizers such as erythrosine B can be further enhanced by the addition of biological or chemical molecules. This study aimed to investigate of the enhancement effect of acetic acid and chitosan on erythrosine-mediated PDI of Acinetobacter baumannii in planktonic and biofilm forms. The planktonic cell growth of three A. baumannii strains was subjected to PDI by using erythrosine B (50 µM) in 0.01% acetic acid and green laser light (530 nm) at fluence of 40 J/cm
