Exploring bacteriophage therapy for drug-resistant bacterial infections.
Article in Topics in antiviral medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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 golden age of antibiotics, which lasted from the 1930s until 2005, brought a brisk clip of antibiotic discovery and fueled optimism about the victory of modern medicine over bacterial infections. Since then, however, with a stalled antibiotic discovery effort and wide-spread antibiotic use, antimicrobial resistance has emerged as a major global health threat. Bacteriophages, or phages (literally viruses that infect certain bacteria), have coevolved with bacteria for almost 4 billion years and are the most abundant organisms on the earth. Substantial progress is being made such that selection, engineering, and synthetic production of phages may make it possible for these lethal enemies of bacteria to be harnessed as potent allies in our battle against antimicrobial resistance.
