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: Multidrug-resistant Methods: A novel lytic phage, vB_SflP_DSF2 (DSF2), was isolated from untreated sewage at the 305 Hospital of PLA using MDR Results: The DSF2 is a Schitoviridae phage with an elongated prolate head, short non-contractile tail. It produces haloed 1-2 mm plaques indicating depolymerase activity, with a 60-min latent period and 115 PFU/cell burst size. The DSF2 remains stable from 4 °C to 50 °C and active at pH 4-10, selectively lysing all Conclusion: The DSF2 represents a novel Schitoviridae species that expands the limited
