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

A bacteriophage BD49 specific for Citrobacter braakii was screened out and purified by double-layer plate method. It consists of a polyhedral head of 93.1 ± 1.2 nm long and 72.9 ± 4.2 nm wide, tail fibers, collar, sheath and baseplate. The bacteriophage was identified by morphology observed with transmission electron microscope (TEM), whole genome sequencing carried out by Illumina next generation sequencing (NGS) technique, and gene annotation based on Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COG) database. It was identified primarily as a member of Caudovirales by morphology and further determined as Caudovirales, Myoviridae, and Citrobacter bacteriophage by alignment of its whole genome sequence with the NCBI database and establishment of phylogenetic tree. The bacteriophage showed good environmental suitability with optimal multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.01, proliferation time of 80 min, optimum living temperature of 30-40 °C, and living pH of 5-10. In addition, it exhibited synergistic effect with ciprofloxacin against C. braakii in antibacterial tests.
