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

This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of several technical lignins against major environmental bacteria that cause mastitis in dairy cattle. The efficacy of four types of technical lignins against environmental mastitis pathogens was evaluated using MIC and MBC assays. The best candidate, sodium lignosulfonate (NaL-O), was further tested using sawdust bedding substrates. Substrates were prepared in different cleanliness conditions: sawdust only, sawdust plus urine, sawdust plus feces, or sawdust plus a combination of both. The antimicrobial activity of NaL-O against the mixture of environmental mastitis-causing pathogens was determined on days 0, 2, and 6 of incubation. In addition, the components of bedding substrates were analyzed to help understand the dynamics of pathogen loads. In the MIC and MBC assays, NaL-O showed the best antimicrobial performance against all pathogens except
