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

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the vulnerable opportunistic pathogens associated with nosocomial infections, cystic fibrosis, burn wounds and surgical site infections. Several studies have reported that quorum sensing (QS) systems are controlled the P. aeruginosa pathogenicity. Hence, the targeting of QS considered as an alternative approach to control P. aeruginosa infections. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-quorum sensing and antibiofilm inhibitory potential of Musa paradisiaca against Chromobacterium violaceum (ATCC 12472) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The methanol extract of M. paradisiacsa exhibits that better antibiofilm potential against P. aeruginosa. Then, the crude methanol extract was subjected to purify by column chromatography and collected the fractions. The mass-spectrometric analysis of a methanol extract of M. paradisiaca revealed that 1,8-cineole is the major compounds. 1, 8-cineole significantly inhibited the QS regulated violacein production in C. violaceum. Moreover, 1,8-cineole significantly inhibited the QS mediated virulence production and biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa without affecting their growth. The real-time PCR analysis showed the downregulation of autoinducer synthase and transcriptional regulator genes upon 1,8-cineole treatment. The findings of the present study strongly suggested that metabolite of M. paradisiaca impedes P. aeruginosa QS system and associated virulence productions.
