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

Honey has been appreciated for its medicinal properties since ancient times; it is known as a powerful antimicrobial agent, and as a result of the increase in antibiotic resistance of various bacterial strains, honey began to be used in complementary therapies to combat microbial infections. The study aimed to identify the antimicrobial potential of two honey varieties (Acacia honey and polyflora honey) with different botanical and geographical origins on standardized bacterial strains or isolated from patients, some of which showed antibiotic resistance. The physicochemical parameters of the honey varieties analyzed were: water content, impurities, pH of honey, acidity, mineral content, reducing sugar content, total phenol content, and antioxidant capacity (DPPH). The antibacterial potential of the honey varieties was assessed based on tests to determine cell viability and the capacity to inhibit biofilm formation. The Gram-positive strains studied were
