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

Antibiotic resistance is a global health threat, and there is ample motivation for development of novel antibacterial approaches combining multiple strategies. Electroporation is among the promising complementary techniques - highly optimizable, effective against a broad range of bacteria, and largely impervious to development of resistance. To date, most studies investigating electroporation as an efficacy potentiator for antibacterials used substances permissible in food industry, and only few used clinical antibiotics, as acceptable applications are largely limited to treatment of wastewaters inherently contaminated with such antibiotics. Moreover, most studies have focused mainly on maximal achievable effect, and less on underlying mechanisms. Here, we compare
