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

objectiveThe present study evaluated the effect of chemical disinfectants and microwave sterilization on the removal of biofilm containing MATERIALS AND

methodsOne hundred twenty-eight (

resultsFor

conclusionIt was observed that exposure to CHX, NaOCl, and microwave radiation significantly reduced the microbial CFU counts. Although the use of neem extract also significantly reduced these CFU counts, this reduction was not as much as the other three tested materials. Further research exploring other chemical disinfectants with various concentrations is recommended.
