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

Quorum sensing (QS) and biofilm inhibition are recognized as the novel drug targets for the broad-spectrum anti-infective strategy to combat the infections caused by drug-resistant bacterial pathogens. Many compounds from medicinal plants have been found to demonstrate anti-infective activity. However, broad-spectrum anti-QS and antibiofilm efficacy and their mode of action are poorly studied. In this study, the efficacy of coumarin was tested against QS-regulated virulent traits of Gram-negative bacteria. Coumarin inhibited the production of violacein pigment in
