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 10th American Society for Microbiology Conference on Biofilms was held in person on 9-13 November 2025 in Portland, OR. The diverse mixture of over 300 oral and poster presentations resoundingly embodied the vitality of biofilm research across a wide range of topics and multiple scientific disciplines. Special activities, including a pre-conference symposium for early-career researchers, Lunch and Learn sessions, the Paul Stoodley imaging workshop, and various networking events, further enhanced the attendee experience. As a general theme, the conference was deliberately structured to provide high levels of participation and engagement among early-career scientists.
