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

There is growing interest in bacteriophage (phage) technologies across the One Health spectrum. The UK Parliament's Science, Technology and Innovation Select Committee recently published the results of its inquiry into 'the antimicrobial potential of bacteriophages' with recommendations on clarity on regulatory matters to support research and innovation. Products developed for different sectors will have different regulatory requirements. Here, we discuss how phage technology is applied across human, veterinary and food sectors, highlighting key regulatory considerations and the technical challenges that must be addressed to assure the quality, safety and efficacy of phage products. We also highlight the potential impact of phages in areas where they are most needed (low- and middle-income countries).
