Ascorbate and Antibiotics, at Concentrations Attainable in Urine, Can Inhibit the Growth of Resistant Strains of
Article in Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
There are conflicting reports on the antibacterial activity of ascorbate; all at concentrations much higher than the typical in human plasma, but that can be reached in urine. The effect of 10 mM ascorbate (in itself not inhibitory) along with antibiotics, was tested both in Mueller-Hinton broth (MHb) and in synthetic human urine (SHU), against resistant isolates of
