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 aims of this study were isolation-purification and characterization of L-glutaminase from L. gasseri BRLHM clinical isolates and investigation of its efficiency as an antimicrobial agent against multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa. The MICs of L-glutaminase and gentamicin reference were evaluated by the well-diffusion method. The biofilm on the IUD contraceptive was visualized using atomic force microscopy (AFM) image analyses. The purified L-glutaminase possessed significant antimicrobial activity against P. aeruginosa isolates (p < 0.05), and the antibiofilm formation activity of the purified L-glutaminase was stronger than the antibiofilm activity of the referral standard drug, gentamicin (P < 0.05), which were checked by the inhibition of the biofilm formation on the IUD contraceptive device. Investigations indicated that L-glutaminase may have a crucial role in future clinical applications.
