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

Group A rotavirus (RV) causes gastrointestinal disease in infants worldwide, and there is currently no specific treatment to eliminate the virus. Due to its chemical properties, propolis is a promising compound for improving gastrointestinal infections. This study aimed to evaluate the action of stingless bee propolis against RV. The method involved determining the concentrations of the extracts that do not exhibit cytotoxicity in colon adenocarcinoma cells using the MTT assay and measuring the reduction in infectivity through a focus forming assay. The results showed that stingless bee propolis was non-cytotoxic up to 200 µg/mL. The reduction in RV infectivity exceeded 99% when using propolis from
