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

Lytic bacteriophages, viruses that attack and kill bacteria cells, can be used in food as biocontrol agents to prevent the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Meat is highly susceptible to bacterial growth, including pathogenic species, the control of which is crucial. Antibiotic use by breeders has resulted in bacterial resistance, which remains a huge problem; bacteriophages have emerged as an interesting alternative. In the literature, the influence of bacteriophages on common foodborne pathogens, such as
