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 discovery of antibiotics in the early to mid-1900s has shaped modern medicine. From treating bacterial infections to preventing them during surgeries or cancer therapy, antibiotics are an essential pillar of human health. Beyond therapeutics for humans, our ability to mass produce dairy or meat products relies on the protective shield that antibiotics provide against communicable bacterial diseases. Yet, even as modern societies started to reap the benefits of antibiotics, the threat of antibiotic resistance (more generally, antimicrobial resistance, or AMR) had emerged. As early as 1940, resistance to penicillin in
