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

Propolis is a natural, accessible, and valuable bee product belonging to the group of so-called bioproducts. Its composition varies significantly depending on a number of factors, resulting in a wide range of data. The aim of this work is to investigate the antimicrobial effect of propolis extract, prepared with 70% ethanol, on packaging paper. Three propolis samples from Bulgaria were used: from the Northeastern region-harvest 1993 and 2023-and from the Central region-harvest 2023. Paper samples from a cellulose blend only and a base paper with improved hydrophobicity from cellulose blends of two samples of bleached kraft woodfree pulp are used for the analysis. The antimicrobial activity of ethanol extract from propolis is tested against Gram-positive bacteria
