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.
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 most studied mechanism of quorum sensing in Gram-negative bacteria is mediated by autoinducer 1 (AI-1), namely, acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL). This system allows communication among different bacterial species and regulates the expression of virulence genes in many pathogens. Although AHL-producing bacteria have been detected in the intestines of humans and other animals, no report was found about AHL-producing bacteria in the insect gut and the possible effects of these autoinducers on enteropathogenic bacteria. Therefore, this study aimed to identify AHL-producing bacteria in the gut of larvae of Galleria mellonella and to evaluate the influence of this quorum sensing signal on the regulation of adhesion and motility phenotypes in the intestinal pathogen Salmonella. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic analyses, and phenotypic characterization of gut isolates was performed. The profile of AHLs produced by the isolates was determined using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and revealed with the biosensor strain Chromobacterium violaceum CV026. Sequencing, phylogenetic analyses and phenotypic characterization of gut isolates showed that the three AHL-producing strains belong to the species Rahnella inusitata, named GM34, GM56, and GM60. The TLC showed that R. inusitata produces a six-carbon AHL. In the presence of cell-free extract of R. inusitata containing AHL and under anaerobic conditions, Salmonella enterica increased the adhesion to stainless steel coupons and presented swarming motility. Extracts from the culture medium of R. inusitata isolates containing AHL increased the adhesion on stainless steel coupons and swarming motility of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis PT4 under anaerobic conditions. The results suggest the possibility of communication between members of the G. mellonella intestinal microbiota with pathogens such as Salmonella.
