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

Summary: Welly is a web-based tool designed to simplify the visualization and analysis of growth curves from 96- and 384-well plates, addressing the limitations of existing commercial and coding-based solutions. Users can upload plate reader data in CSV or Excel format, easily select sample names and replicates and Welly generates interactive growth curves displaying the mean and standard deviation of triplicates. Additional features include heat map visualizations of maximum values, and downloadable interactive graphs of publication-quality figures and statistics files containing area under curve and max growth rate value of replicates. Availability and implementation: Welly is freely available at https://synbioexplorer.pythonanywhere.com, providing an easy-to-use interface accessible to all. All the code is publicly available at the github repository https://github.com/SynBioExplorer/Welly under the MIT license. The website will remain freely accessible for at least 2 years post publication, likely longer.
