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

The Burkholderia genus has high ecological and nutritional versatility, having species capable of causing diseases in animals, humans, and plants. During chronic infections in humans, biofilm formation is a characteristic often associated with strains from different species of this genus. However, there is still no information on the formation of biofilms by plant pathogenic strains of B. cenocepacia (Bce) lineages IIIA and IIIB and B. gladioli pv. alliicola (Bga), which are associated with onion bacterial scale rot in the semi-arid region of northeast Brazil. In this study, we performed an in vitro characterization of biofilm formation ability in different culture media by the phytopathogenic strains of Bce and Bga and investigated its relationship with swarming motility. Our results indicated the existence of an intraspecific variation in biofilm formation capacity in vitro by these bacteria and the existence of a negative correlation between swarming motility and biofilm formation for strains of Bce lineage IIIB. In addition, histopathological analyses performed using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy revealed the formation of biofilm in vivo by Bce strains in onion tissues.
