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: This study aimed to investigate the effect of honokiol combined with resveratrol on bacteria responsible for oral malodor and their biofilm. Method: This study investigated drug's MIC, FICI and dynamic bactericidal susceptibility activities against Pg and Fn. The effects of drugs on biofilm metabolic activity, biofilm total amount, and biofilm microstructure were determined by CCK-8 experiment, semi-quantitative adhesion experiment and SEM, respectively. The effects of drugs on biofilm genes, extracellular polysaccharides, proteins and DNA content were determined by qRT-PCR, phenol-sulfuric acid method, BCA method and Nano Drop one C, respectively. Results: The combination had synergistic antibacterial effect on Pg and Fn. 1/2×MIC and 1×MIC combination inhibit the whole process of Pg and Fn growth. The results showed that the combination effectively reduce biofilm metabolic activity and total amount, and destroy biofilm microstructure. The results showed that the combination downregulate the gene expression both Pg and Fn, reduce extracellular polysaccharides and DNA of Pg, and reduce extracellular proteins and DNA of Fn. Conclusion: This study showed that the combination had a synergistic antibacterial effect on Pg and Fn, reduced the biofilm extracellular matrix, inhibited biofilm formation, and downregulated the expression of genes related to biofilm formation.
