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

backgroundFresh leafy vegetables are widely consumed because of their high nutritional value but are also recognized as important vehicles for foodborne pathogens.

methodsBiofilm formation was assessed using Congo Red agar, the crystal violet microtiter plate assay, and a bacterial attachment assay on lettuce leaves, while biofilm architecture and the effects of EO treatment were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Antibacterial activity was determined by the broth microdilution method, and antibiofilm activity on initial bacterial attachment and preformed biofilms was evaluated at 0.5 × MIC, MIC, and 2 × MIC using the crystal violet assay and bacterial attachment assay on lettuce leaves, respectively.
