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.
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
Pseudomonas aeruginosa poses a significant threat in clinical settings, acting as a major causative agent of bacteremia, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Intrinsic resistance of this bacterium necessitates the urgent need for novel anti-Pseudomonas agents. Current therapeutic strategies are becoming increasingly inadequate, emphasizing the importance of screening studies aimed at discovering new antimicrobials that can effectively target this resilient bacterium. In this context, the exploration of herbal remedies presents a promising avenue for the development of effective antimicrobial agents. Many herbs possess bioactive compounds with documented antimicrobial properties, which could serve as potential lead substances in the quest for new treatments against P. aeruginosa. In the current study, the effect of the aqueous extract of 38 plant tissues, which have been introduced as an antimicrobial plant in the available publications, was investigated on P. aeruginosa. This study was done on a standard strain which is known as causative agent of bacteremia to find new avenues against P. aeruginosa bacteremia. Extracts from flower buds of S. aromaticum, flower of P. granatum L. var. pleniflora, and fruit of R. coriaria were found as effective against P. aeruginosa. Combination effect of these extracts was primarily evaluated by double well synergy test, and it was found that P. granatum and R. coriaria extracts may have additive or synergistic antimicrobial effect. More evaluations were performed via checkerboard assay. Fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) was calculated as 0.84 which fall within the additive range (0.5 < FICI ≤ 1). These results suggest that the combination of P. granatum and R. coriaria extracts can provide a promising natural mixture with enhanced antimicrobial efficacy to treat P. aeruginosa bacteremia. So, it can be concluded that mixed extract is a valuable source of natural anti-Pseudomonas compounds which can be subjected for further studies regarding toxicity and formulation.
