Isolation and characterization of bacteriophages for controlling
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Introduction: Stem and crown gall disease caused by the plant pathogen Methods: In this study, 76 bacteriophages were recovered from sewage influent and screened for their inhibitory effect against Results: Five potential candidate phages (isolates IC12, IG49, AN01, LG08, and LG11) with the ability to lyse a broad range of hosts were chosen and assessed for their morphology, environmental stability, latent period, and burst size. The morphology of these selected phages revealed a long contractile tail under transmission electron microscopy. Single-step growth curves displayed that these phages had a latent period of 80-110 min and a burst size ranging from 8 to 33 phages per infected cell. None of these phages contained any antimicrobial resistance or virulence genes in their genomes. Subsequently, a combination of two-, three- and four-phage cocktails were formulated and tested for their efficacy in a broth system. A three-phage cocktail composed of the isolates IC12, IG49 and LG08 showed promising results in controlling a large number of Discussion: These findings suggest that the three-phage cocktail (IC12, IG49 and LG08) has the potential to serve as a proactive antimicrobial solution for controlling
