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

Purpose: Methods: Isolated phage vB_Kpn_HF0522 and phage morphology were observed using transmission electron microscopy. Analysis of vB_Kpn_HF0522 characteristics, including optimal multiplicity of infection (MOI), one-step growth curve, host range, stability in different environments, and adsorption capacity. The phage genomic sequence was analyzed to explore evolutionary relationships. The effect of phage vB_Kpn_HF0522 on biofilms was assessed using crystal violet staining assay. The Results: Phage was isolated from hospital sewage for experimental studies. Genome analysis revealed that vB_Kpn_HF0522 is a double-stranded linear DNA virus. Biological characterization demonstrated that this phage specifically targets serotype K1 Conclusion: These findings indicate that vB_Kpn_HF0522 has significant potential for treating specific bacterial infections, and may serve as an antimicrobial agent for research and clinical anti-infective therapy.
