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

Bacteriophages offer an opportunity for chemical-free, precise control of problematic bacteria, but this approach can be limited when lytic phages are difficult to obtain for the target host. In such cases, phage-based targeting of cooperating or cross-feeding bacteria (e.g., IMPORTANCE: Lytic phages are valuable agents for targeted elimination of bacteria in diverse applications. Nevertheless, lytic phages are difficult to isolate for some target pathogens. We offer proof of concept that this limitation may be overcome via indirect phage targeting, which involves knocking out species that interact closely with and benefit the primary problematic target bacteria. Our target (
