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

Acinetobacter baumannii is a bacteria associated with nosocomial infections and outbreaks, difficult to control due to its antibiotic resistance, ability to survive in adverse conditions, and biofilm formation adhering to biotic and abiotic surfaces. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the antibiofilm activity of biogenic silver nanoparticle (Bio-AgNP) and polymyxin B alone and combined in biofilms formed by isolates of carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CR-Ab). In the biofilm formation inhibition assay, CR-Ab strains were exposed to different concentrations of the treatments before inducing biofilm formation, to determine the ability to inhibit/prevent bacterial biofilm formation. While in the biofilm rupture assay, the bacterial biofilm formation step was previously carried out and the adhered cells were exposed to different concentrations of the treatments to evaluate their ability to destroy the bacterial biofilm formed. All CR-Ab isolates and ATCC
