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

backgroundThe emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria in the urinary tract and the decrease in the efficacy of antibiotics prompted us to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of

methodsPhenolic compound profiling of the extract of interest was performed by HPLC-DAD. Acute oral toxicity was tested in vivo. The antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates was assessed against 23 antibiotics using the disk diffusion method. The identification of the isolates was performed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The antibacterial activity of the extract was assessed using agar well diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs), and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) methods.

resultsPhenolic compound profiling of the extract revealed that epicatechin (85%) was the major compound. The extract also showed no symptoms of toxicity, adverse effects, or mortality in mice at the recommended dose. Overall, the extract at 200 µg/mL was effective against all isolates. The zones of inhibition ranged from 9.25 to 19.5 mm. Gram-positive

conclusionsThe results conclude that the extract could be an effective source of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of urinary tract infections caused by MDR bacteria.
