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

Objective: The alarming increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens current armament of antibiotics. This global threat to public health revived the search for plant-derived antimicrobial therapeutics. Methods: Bacterial growth curves and bactericidal assays were performed on antibiotic sensitive and resistant clinical bacterial strains collectively known as ESKAPE pathogens. Antibiofilm activity of Juniper essential oil (JEO) was tested against methicillin resistant Results: JEO dilutions (50, 25 and 12.5 µL) demonstrated a dose-dependent antibacterial activity against tested strains and significantly reduced growth after 24 h. JEO also exerted antibiofilm activity against MRSA and Conclusion: JEO has antibacterial activity against ESKAPE pathogens. The potential application of JEO formulated in PCL nanofiber bandages is for wound dressing to treat surgical site infections, burns or skin ulcers.
