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

The global rise of antimicrobial resistance is concomitant with an increasing prevalence of chronic wound infections. Medicinal plants are a promising source of novel therapeutic agents. Rubus chamaemorus, a plant native to Northern Europe traditionally used for wound healing, is one of them. Dried, powdered rhizomes, leaves, and fruits of R. chamaemorus were extracted with dichloromethane, methanol, and water. The extracts were screened for antibacterial and antifungal activity. Main compounds were identified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Biofilm inhibition was assessed using multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli. Cytotoxicity against HaCaT cells, inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) product formation, chelating, and antioxidant properties were determined. While the rhizome and fruit extracts demonstrated no relevant biological activities, the methanolic leaf extract exhibited a low minimal biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC = 30 µg/mL) and a potent 5-LOX inhibition (IC
