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

Biofilm formation is responsible for persistent diseases related to chronic infections. Mostly it is triggered by many bacteria, mainly Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). In this study, plants that have been used traditionally in skin infections Viz; Liquorice, Carrot, Red Cabbage, Beetroot, Turmeric, Neem, and French Lavender were selected to evaluate their antibiofilm activity against P. aeruginosa. The microtiter plate assay was used to evaluate their antibiofilm activity against P. aeruginosa as well as ability to reduce the activity of P. aeruginosa. To investigate the phytocompounds responsible for bioactivity of the superior extract and to explore potential interactions between its bioactive components and one of quorum-sensing (QS) regulatory proteins of P. aeruginosa involved in biofilm formation, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric (LC-MS) and molecular docking studies were done. The study showed that all tested plant extracts could significantly (p-value < 0.05) reduce the formation of P. aeruginosa biofilm. The methanol extract of Lavandula dentata (L. dentata) leaves is superior at 0.625 mg/mL. In conclusion, the study revealed the presence of phenolic acids, flavonoids, and their glycosides also, the anti-P. aeruginosa biofilm activity of L. dentata leaves was reported herein for the first time and could be a good source of leads for antibiofilm medicine.
