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

Biofilm-associated infections constitute a significant challenge in managing infectious diseases due to their high resistance to antibiotics and host immune responses. Biofilms are responsible for various infections, including urinary tract infections, cystic fibrosis, dental plaque, bone infections, and chronic wounds. Quorum sensing (QS) is a process of cell-to-cell communication that bacteria use to coordinate gene expression in response to cell density, which is crucial for biofilm formation and maintenance.. Its disruption has been proposed as a potential strategy to prevent or treat biofilm-associated infections leading to improved treatment outcomes for infectious diseases. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the literature on QS-mediated disruption of biofilms for treating infectious diseases. It will discuss the mechanisms of QS disruption and the various approaches that have been developed to disrupt QS in reference to multiple clinical pathogens. In particular, numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of QS disruption in reducing biofilm formation in various pathogens, including
