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

Background: Methods: Quercetin was extracted from Results: Both treatments significantly reduced lasB- and pqsA-driven GFP reporter activity at sub-inhibitory concentrations (10-100 µM) that did not affect bacterial growth or viability. Inhibition was dose-dependent and more pronounced for the PQS system, accompanied by substantial reductions in extracellular protease activity and strong suppression of biofilm formation and partial dispersal of established biofilms. Molecular docking revealed favourable binding of quercetin to the QS regulators LasR and PqsR, with high-affinity interaction in the PqsR co-inducer pocket, while binding to PqsE was weak and non-specific. Conclusion: These mechanistic insights align with the observed preferential PQS inhibition. The
