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

backgroundBacterial cellulose, which is used in many fields from biomedicine to electronics, is promising as an alternative wound dressing instead of traditional gauze in wound treatment.

objectivesThe objective of this study was to evaluate the potential use of cellulose produced by acetic acid bacteria isolated from rotten fruits as a wound dressing.

methodsIn our study, rotten fruit samples were incubated in Hestrin-Schramm (HS) Broth medium. Then, a loopful of the pellicle-forming samples was taken and inoculated onto Hestrin- Schramm (HS) agar using the streak culture method and bacteria were isolated. Identification of bacteria was performed using the BLAST program after 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Physicochemical properties and morphological characterization of bacterial cellulose produced by static culture were examined using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively, and the swelling ratio was investigated. Antibiotic susceptibilities of bacterial cellulose membranes impregnated with different concentrations of gentamicin (50 μg/mL, 100 μg/mL, 200 μg/mL) against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 were determined by the disk diffusion method.

resultsThe bacteria isolated from rotten fruits were identified as Acetobacter tropicalis NBRC 16470. The structure of cellulose produced by static culture was confirmed by a peak at 3,240 cm

conclusionThe production of bacterial cellulose, which has the potential to be used as a wound dressing from rotten fruits, is important in terms of recycling and low cost.
