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

Biofilm-mediated antimicrobial resistance remains a significant challenge for healthcare and patient safety. Currently, there are gaps in standardised methods for assessing antimicrobials against biofilm formations such as (1) assessment of initial bacterial attachment inhibition, as well as (2) assessment of antimicrobial compounds against both the external biofilm mass and biofilm-embedded metabolically active bacteria. The aim of this study is to address these gaps by combining several anti-biofilm techniques. In the procedure96-well anti-biofilm assessments were performed using plate well and lid peg growth surfaces so as to determine the effects of bioactive compounds (silver nitrate (AgNO
