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

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical global health issue caused by antibiotic overuse, leading to the rise of multi-resistant pathogens such as in bacteria of the ESKAPE group. Alternative or combination therapies, including bacteriophages and plaque-forming predatory bacteria, are being explored in response. Materials and methods: We propose a streamlined three-step protocol to measure AMR in plaque-forming predatory bacteria. It requires the (i) cultivation of a dense Results: Our results show consistent MICs for Conclusion: The streamlined approach described here to determine MICs in plaque-forming predatory bacteria proves effective and robust, when using a suitable (i.e., resistant) prey. It provides a starting point for the joint study of antibiotics and plaque-forming predatory bacteria.
