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/

objectivesDrug efflux pumps represent a significant challenge that contributes to the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. This research aimed to evaluate the flavonoids apigenin, chrysin, glycitein, and hesperetin for their potential to inhibit efflux pumps in drug-resistant

methodThe antibacterial activity of the flavonoids was assessed using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and modulation assays. Dye accumulation and efflux assays were performed to evaluate effects on efflux pump function, while membrane permeability and biofilm formation assays were also conducted. Molecular docking was used to examine interactions between the flavonoids and the AcrB efflux transporter.

resultsAlthough the flavonoids showed limited intrinsic antibacterial activity, they enhanced the effectiveness of erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, and clarithromycin against drug-resistant

conclusionsThe results suggest that apigenin and chrysin have promising efflux-pump inhibitory potential in drug-resistant
