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

backgroundProbiotic bacteria inhibit aggregation, biofilm formation, and dimorphism of Candida spp. However, the effects of a new probiotic, Streptococcus dentisani, on the growth of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata biofilms are unknown.

objectiveTo determine the effect of S. dentisani on the different phases of C. albicans and C. glabrata biofilm development.

methodsGrowth quantification and ultrastructural analyses were performed on biofilms of C. albicans ATCC 90028, C. glabrata ATCC 2001, and clinical isolates of C. albicans from oral candidiasis (CA-C1), caries (CA-CR1), and periodontal pocket (CA-P1) treated with cell suspensions of S. dentisani CECT 7746. Cell viability was determined by quantifying colony-forming units (CFU/mL). The ultrastructural analyses were done with atomic force microscopy.

resultsS. dentisani induced a significant reduction (p < 0.05) of CFU/mL of immature and mature biofilm in all strains of C. albicans and C. glabrata. Microscopic analysis revealed that S. dentisani reduced C. albicans density in mixed biofilm. The fungus-bacteria interaction affected cell membrane integrity in yeast.

conclusionFor the first time, our data elucidate the antifungal effect of S. dentisani on the development of C. albicans and C. glabrata biofilms, supporting its usefulness as a niche-specific probiotic to prevent and treat oral dysbiosis.
