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

A gram positive, extreme haloalkaliphilic, radioresistant bacterium was isolated from mangrove region of Kerala (India) which was characterized as Exiguobacterium sp. HKG-126 using morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular characterization. Present investigation was undertaken to examine Exiguobacterium sp. as a potential source of broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and enhancement in this activity was observed due to cross-species/cross-genera induction and also in response to high dose of gamma (γ) irradiation. Individual studies on the antimicrobial activity of all the co-cultivated bacterial strains before and after mixed culture fermentation, showed excellent enhancement in antimicrobial activity of Exiguobacterium sp. against a variety of clinical pathogens. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report showing existence of an extremely high radioresistant strain of (up to 15 kGy) Exiguobacterium sp.
