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

Aim: To assess the time-dependent antimicrobial activity of a newly isolated bacteriophage against Methodology: Bacteriophage CUB_EF02 was isolated from sewage water using Results: Phage treatment reduced biofilm by 1.35 ± 0.2 SD-log after 6 h compared to control. Irrigation of the root canals using NaOCl achieved a significantly higher reduction (LRF Conclusion: Bacteriophages represent a promising adjunctive in root canal disinfection, but remain less effective than NaOCl and may inducebacterial resistance.
