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 and Objectives: Materials and Methods: A total of 168 one-day-old desi chicks were procured and randomly divided into five different groups: negative control, positive control, prophylactic, 6 h and delayed post-challenge treatment group. Birds in the positive control and trial groups were orally infected with 10 Results: Among the groups, the prophylactic group showed the highest log Conclusion: The bacteriophage therapy is highly effective in reducing
