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

Background and Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the virulence factors and genes associated with biofilm and protease in Materials and Methods: Eighty-seven Results: All isolates (100%) produced DNase, hemolysin, protease, lipase, and hyaluronidase. Seventy-eight (89.7%) isolates were gelatinase producers, and 85 (97.7%) isolates were lecithinase producers. All isolates were biofilm producers: 79 (90.8%) isolates produced strong biofilm, 5 (5.7%) isolates produced moderate biofilm, and 3 (3.5%) isolates produced weak biofilm. The frequency of Conclusion: Our findings revealed a high frequency of isolates that produce DNase, hemolysin, protease, gelatinase, lipase, lecithinase, hyaluronidase, and biofilm. All isolates that harbored
