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

Bacteriophage (phage) isolation from various environmental sources is an important step in identifying phages suitable for therapeutic and/or research purposes. Most published protocols outlining phage isolation techniques focus on the identification and/or characterization of strictly lytic phages. Here, a simple, adapted protocol specific for the isolation of non-lytic, filamentous phages is described. This method can be used in laboratories with access to basic microbiological equipment. Briefly, the adapted protocol steps involve:•Phage enrichment with F-pilus expressing bacterial host and sewage filtrate•Dilution and agar overlay plating of enriched culture•Selection of hazy, turbid plaques followed by screening via PCR.
