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

This review aims at presenting the main strategies that are currently available for the delivery of bacteriophages to combat bacterial infections in humans, animals, and plants. It can be seen that the main routes for phage delivery are topical, oral, systemic, and airways for humans. In animals, the topical and oral routes are the most used. To combat infections in plant species, spraying the plant's phyllosphere or drenching the soil are the most commonly used methods. In both phage therapy and biocontrol using phages, very promising results have been obtained so far. However, more experiments are needed to establish forms of treatment and phage doses, among other parameters. Furthermore, in general, there is a lack of specific standards for the use of phages to combat bacterial infections.
