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: Decontamination of farms affected by bovine tuberculosis could be very challenging during outbreaks occurring in the winter with freezing temperatures. Steam treatment has been of practical interest, but information is needed on whether such treatment is able to inactivate the causative agent, Methods: Carrier disks made of steel, wood, or rubber were inoculated with 6.32 ± 0.38 log Results: Complete inactivation of 6 log Conclusion: The results suggested that treatment with pressurized steam has potential for efficient and effective disinfection of surfaces contaminated by mycobacteria at or below freezing temperatures in winter.
