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

Microorganisms are exposed to a wide variety of stress factors in their natural environments. Under that stressful conditions, they move into a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state to survive and maintain the vitality. At VBNC state, microorganisms cannot be detected by traditional laboratory methods, but they can be revived under appropriate conditions. Therefore, VBNC organisms cause serious food safety and public health problems. To date, it has been determined that more than 100 microorganism species have entered the VBNC state through many chemical and physical factors. During the last four decades, dating from the initial detection of the VBNC condition, new approaches have been developed for the induction, detection, molecular mechanisms, and resuscitation of VBNC cells. This review evaluates the current data of recent years on the inducing conditions and detection methods of the VBNC state, including with microorganisms on the VBNC state, their virulence, pathogenicity, and molecular mechanisms.
