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

Quorum sensing (QS) is a complex communication system in bacteria, directing their response to the environment. QS is also one of the main regulators of bacterial biofilms' formation, maturation and dispersion. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a molecular imaging technique that allows the mapping of QS molecules in bacterial biofilms. Here, we highlight the latest advances in MALDI-MSI in recent years and how this technology can improve QS understanding at the molecular level.
