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

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues to rise globally, highlighting the need for rapid, label-free, and cost-effective bacterial identification methods. In this proof-of-concept study, portable Raman spectroscopy combined with machine learning was used to identify five clinically relevant bacterial species: Methods: Raman spectra were acquired from cultured, washed, PBS-resuspended, and OD-standardized bacterial suspensions. After SNIP baseline correction, binary and five-class classification models were constructed using Auto-Sklearn with eight algorithms: ADB, ET, GB, LDA, SVM, MLP, PA, and QDA. Model performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, Results: Pairwise binary classification showed variable performance among bacterial pairs. The best result was obtained for Discussion: These findings support the feasibility of portable Raman spectroscopy combined with machine learning for bacterial recognition under standardized sample conditions.
