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

Most Staphylococcus aureus strains can grow as a multicellular biofilm, a phenotype of utmost importance to clinical infections such as endocarditis, osteomyelitis, and implanted medical device infection. As biofilms are inherently more tolerant to the host immune system and antibiotics, understanding the S. aureus genes and regulatory circuits that contribute to biofilm development is an active and on-going field of research. This chapter details a high-throughput and standardized way to grow S. aureus biofilms using a classical microtiter plate assay. Biofilms can be quantified using crystal violet or by confocal microscopy imaging and COMSTAT analysis.
