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

Streptococcus gordonii DL1 (Challis) colonized the oral cavities of BALB/c mice that lacked streptococci, enterococci, and lactobacilli (LF mice) as members of an otherwise complex digestive tract microflora. Conventional mice, in comparison, were refractory to colonization by S. gordonii. Mice that harbored lactobacilli but were free of streptococci and enterococci (EF mice) had a lower incidence of colonization by S. gordonii than LF animals. The LF mouse system should be useful in the study of the molecular mechanisms that enable S. gordonii to inhabit the oral cavity.
