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

Salmonella Typhi can adhere to and build biofilms on the surface of gallstones causing abnormal gallbladder mucosa, which could lead to carcinogenesis. The surface physicochemical properties of microbial cells and materials have been shown to play a crucial role in adhesion. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate, for the first time, the surface properties of nine gallstones and to evaluate the influence of these parameters on the theoretical adhesion of S. Typhi to gallstone surfaces. The physicochemical properties were determined by SEM-EDX and contact angle measurements (CAM) while the predictive adhesion of S. Typhi on gallstones was estimated using the XDLVO approach. SEM-EDX analysis revealed that cholesterol is the principal component on the surface of all gallstones, with carbon and oxygen as the main elements. Aluminum was detected as a trace element in only three gallstones: GS2, GS4, and GS5. S. Typhi CIP5535 has a hydrophilic character (ΔG
