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

Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) represents a significant subgroup within extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli strains and constitutes a substantial threat to the global poultry industry. Although the negative impacts of APEC have been mitigated considerably through antibiotic use, this practice has concurrently facilitated the widespread emergence and dissemination of antibiotic-resistant APEC strains worldwide. Consequently, bacteriophage has emerged as a promising alternative to antibiotics. In the current study, a novel virulent bacteriophage, designated XQ-1, was isolated from a sewage sample collected at a broiler chickens farm in Hubei Province, China. Notably, this bacteriophage exhibited the capability to lyse multiple APEC strains, including O1, O2, and O78 serotypes. The optimal multiplicity of infection (MOI) for bacteriophage XQ-1 was determined to be 0.001, yielding a maximum viral titer of 4.73 ± 0.31 × 10
