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

Acanthamoeba spp. and Salmonella share common habitats, and their interaction may influence the biofilm-forming ability of Salmonella. In this study, biofilm formation of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis cocultured with Acanthamoeba castellanii was examined in nutrient-rich and nutrient-deficient media. Furthermore, transcript copy number of biofilm-related genes in the biofilm cells of S. Enteritidis in monoculture was compared to those in coculture with A. castellanii. Results demonstrated that the presence of A. castellanii in the culture media activates the genes involved in the biofilm formation of S. Enteritidis, regardless of the nutrient availability. However, biofilm formation of S. Enteritidis cocultured with A. castellanii was not consistent with the transcript copy number results. In nutrient-rich medium, the number of Salmonella biofilm cells and the contents of the three main components of the biofilms including eDNA, protein, and carbohydrates were higher in the presence of A. castellanii compared to monocultures. However, in nutrient-deficient medium, the number of biofilm cells, and the amount of biofilm components in coculture conditions were less than the monocultures. These results indicate that despite activation of relevant genes in both nutrient-rich and nutrient-deficient media, biofilm formation of S. Enteritidis cocultured with A. castellanii responds to nutrient availability.
