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

Multispecies biofilms are complex communities where extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) shape structure, adaptability, and functionality. However, characterizing the components of EPS, particularly glycans and proteins, remains a challenge due to the diverse bacterial species present and their interactions within the matrix. This study examined how interactions between different species affect EPS component composition and spatial organization. We analyzed a consortium of four bacterial soil isolates that have previously demonstrated various intrinsic properties in biofilm communities:
