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

Background: Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are present on the chromosomes and plasmids of many bacteria, including Objectives: The current investigation aims to discover the relationship between biofilm development and toxin-antitoxin systems in clinical isolates of Materials and methods: A total of 100 Results: Microtiter plates revealed that 90 Conclusions: The findings suggested that TA genes are common in clinical isolates of
