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

Novel infection control practices are necessary to reduce the incidence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Since 2007, probiotic-based cleaning solutions have been proposed as an alternative to traditional methods using disinfectants and detergents in healthcare settings, including hospitals. We conducted a comprehensive search across Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science resources. Studies that assessed the reduction in pathogens on surfaces and the emergence of HAIs after the use of probiotic-based cleaning solutions were eligible for evaluation. A total of 16 studies (13 in clinical settings and 3 on experimental surfaces) were included. The
