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 production of exopolysaccharides (EPS) by Leuconostoc mesenteroides causes some serious problems in the cane sugar refining process. So, it is necessary to eliminate L. mesenteroides as an undesirable microorganism in the cane sugar refinery. Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is a novel and attractive strategy to eradicate undesirable microorganisms. In this study, we aimed to evaluate PDI of L. mesenteroides using methylene blue (MB). Suspensions of L. mesenteroides PTCC 1591 was treated by different concentration of methylene blue (6.25-100 µM) and subsequently subjected to laser light (650 nm). Effect of sub-lethal photodynamic inactivation on the production of EPS by L. mesenteroides was also assessed. Meanwhile, the effects of PDI (at lethal and sub-lethal levels) on L. mesenteroides cells were visualized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). PDI mediated by MB (50 and 100 µM) caused a significant reduction in the number of viable L. mesenteroides cells (> 3 log
