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

The antibiotic resistance of pathogenic microorganisms is currently one of most major medical problems, causing a few million deaths every year worldwide due to untreatable bacterial infections. Unfortunately, the prognosis is even worse, as over 8 million deaths associated with antibiotic resistance are expected to occur in 2050 if no new effective antibacterial treatments are discovered. The Hfq protein has been discovered as a bacterial RNA chaperone. However, subsequent studies have indicated that this small protein (composed of 102 amino acid residues in
