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

Cutibacterium spp. play an increasing role in soft tissue and implant-associated infections. We isolated a novel Cutibacterium spp. from an implant and investigated this isolate using multiple identification approaches. Correct identification was hampered by inconsistent reference data. The isolate was characterised using conventional methods such as Gram stain, MALDI-TOF MS, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing against multiple antimicrobials. Partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing and whole genome sequencing were also performed. In addition, we summarised the available published sequence data and compared prior data to our strain. Conventional phenotypic identification of our isolate resulted in Cutibacterium spp. After analysis of 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences, our isolate was identified as C. modestum, a very recently described species. The 16S rRNA gene analysis was hampered by three incorrect nucleotides within the 16S rRNA gene reference sequence of C. modestum M12
