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

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are attractive weapons in both antibiotic-mediated killing and host-mediated killing. However, the involvement of ROS in antibiotic-mediated killing and complexities in host environments challenge the paradigm. In the case of bacterial pathogens, the examples of some certain pathogens thriving under ROS conditions prompt us to focus on the adaption mechanism that pathogens evolve to cope with ROS. Based on these, we here summarized the mechanisms of ROS-mediated killing of either antibiotics or the host, the examples of bacterial adaption that successful pathogens evolved to defend or thrive under ROS conditions, and the potential side effects of ROS in pathogen clearance. A brief section for new antibacterial strategies centered around ROS was also addressed.
