Article in Acta medica Philippina, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background and Objective: Staphylococcus aureus is the leading cause of skin and soft tissue infections such as abscesses, furuncles, and cellulitis. Biofilm forming strains of Methods: The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of PBE against MSSA were determined using the agar dilution assay. The biofilm inhibition and eradication assays using crystal violet were done to quantify the antibiofilm activities of PBE on MSSA biofilm. Results: PBE showed activity against MSSA in agar dilution assay with MIC and MBC values of 2500 μg/mL and 5000 μg/mL, respectively. At subinhibitory concentrations, PBE showed biofilm inhibition activity at 1250 μg/mL but a lower percent eradication of biofilms as compared to oxacillin was noted. Conclusion: PBE showed antibacterial activities including biofilm inhibition against methicillin-sensitive
