Effect of sodium monensin and cinnamaldehyde on the growth and phenotypic characteristics of Prevotella bryantii and Prevotella ruminicola.
Article in Folia microbiologica, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Two representative strains of Gram-negative rumen bacteria from the genus Prevotella were used as model organisms in order to evaluate the effect of cinnamaldehyde (the secondary metabolite found in extracts of the Cinnamomum family) vs. sodium monensin on growth, cell size and cell protein production. Prevotella bryantii B(1)4 was found to be remarkably more resistant to the action of both compounds than Prevotella ruminicola 23. The approximate IC(50) concentrations of sodium monensin influenced the increase in cell size of both strains during growth, which was much more pronounced in the case of the B(1)4 strain. A similar effect was observed in strain B(1)4 when 1.438 mmol/L cinnamaldehyde was added to the growth medium, indicating a possible interference with cell division. The action of cinnamaldehyde on P. bryantii B(1)4 was concentration-dependent, in contrast to the effect observed on P. ruminicola 23.
