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

Polypropylene was modified to contain chitosan and evaluate its ability to generate Lactobacillus casei biofilms and their lactic acid production. Biofilm formation was carried out in either rich or minimal media. The chitosan-modified polypropylene harbored ~ 37% more cells than the control polypropylene. The biofilms from the chitosan-modified polypropylene grown in rich medium produced ~ 2 times more lactic acid after 72 h of incubation than the control suspended cells. There was no significant difference in the production of lactic acid after 72 h by L. casei biofilms on the chitosan-modified polypropylene grown in minimal media as compared with cells in suspension after 48 h and 72 h of incubation. Infrared spectroscopy confirmed higher deposition of nutrients and biomass on the chitosan-modified polypropylene as compared to the chitosan-free polypropylene. Electron and atomic force microscopy confirmed thicker biofilms when rich media were used to grow them as compared to minimal medium.
