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

Background and Objective: Staphylococcal biofilms cause a wide range of acute and chronic infections, both in hospital and community settings across the world. This study explores biofilm forming propensity among Methods: The study was conducted during July to December 2020. The biofilm forming ability of Results: All the isolates (n=22) produced biofilm; 14 (63.6%) were strong, and 8 (36.4%) moderate biofilm producers. Comparative data were obtained for moderate and strong biofilm producers. Increased biofilm production did not affect azithromycin, clindamycin and mupirocin. However, stronger biofilm production significantly increased resistant isolates in case of augmentin (23.2%), cefoxitin (17.9%), levofloxacin (26.8%), tetracycline (23.2%), vancomycin (14.3%) and trimethoprim (21.4%). Conclusions: Our findings indicate that the ability to produce large amount of biofilm is an important factor, and
