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

Antibiotic resistance is one of the most significant public health issues today. As a consequence, there is an urgent need for novel classes of antibiotics. This necessitates the development of highly efficient screening methods for the rapid identification of antibiotic-producing bacteria. Here, we describe a new method for high-throughput screening of antimicrobial compounds (AMC) producing halophilic bacteria. Our methodology used a newly designed 3D-printed Petri plate replicator used for drop deposition and colony replication. We employed this device in combination with a modified agar overlay assay to screen more than 7400 bacterial colonies. A total of 54 potential AMC producers were discovered at a success rate of 0.7%. Although 40% of them lost their antibacterial activity during the secondary screening, 22 strains retained inhibitory activity and were able to suppress the growth of one or more safe relatives of the ESKAPE group pathogens. The ethyl acetate extract from the most potent strain,
