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

The emergence of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections has urged the need to find new strategies, such as the use of combinations of antibiotics. Among these, the combination of colistin with other antibiotics has been studied. Here, the action of combinations of colistin and rifampicin on both planktonic and sessile cells of colistin-resistant P. aeruginosa was studied. Dynamic biofilms were formed and treated with such a combination, resulting in an active killing effect of both colistin-resistant and colistin-susceptible P. aeruginosa in biofilms. The results suggest that the action of colistin on the outer membrane facilitates rifampicin penetration, regardless of the colistin-resistant phenotype. Based on these
