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

Introduction: This study aimed to examine the anti-biofilm activity and mechanism of gallic acid (GA), kaempferol-7-O-glucoside (K7G) and apigenin-7-O-glucoside (A7G) against Methods: The antibacterial activity of the natural compounds was determined by serial dilution method. The inhibitory activity of natural compounds on biofilms was determined by crystal violet staining method. The effects and mechanisms of natural compounds on bacterial biofilms were analyzed by atomic force microscopy. Results: In our study, compared with GA and K7G, A7G was found to exhibit the strongest anti-biofilm and antibacterial activities. The minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) of A7G against Discussion: It was found that the inhibition of A7G on biofilm was achieved through inhibiting on exopolysaccharides (EPS), quorum sensing (QS), and cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH). A7G exerted strong anti-biofilm activities by inhibiting EPS production, QS, and CSH. Hence, A7G, as a natural substance, could be a promising novel antibacterial and anti-biofilm agent for control of biofilm in food industry.
