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 escalating prevalence of antibiotic resistance poses a significant challenge to controlling aquatic diseases, underscoring the need for innovative antimicrobial approaches. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the effects of thyme-synthesized silver nanoparticles (thyme-AgNPs) on modulating the immunosuppressive, oxidative stress, and histopathological changes induced by multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (MDR E. faecalis) infection in Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia). The antibiotic susceptibility profiling of the isolated E. faecalis (PQ084785) revealed resistance to multiple antibiotic classes. The in vitro bactericidal efficacy of thyme-AgNPs was confirmed, with minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 62.5 µg/mL and 31.5 µg/mL, respectively. In vivo, the 96-h median lethal concentration (LC
