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

Quorum Sensing (QS) is a bacterial regulatory mechanism, which is responsible for controlling the expression of various biological macromolecules such as the virulence factors in a cell density-dependent manner. Disruption of the QS system of pathogens has been proposed as a new anti-infective strategy. Biodegradation of AHLs proves to be an efficient way to interrupt QS, since AHLs are the main family of QS autoinducers used in Gram negative bacteria. In this study, the effect of Bacillus sp. QSI-1 as an efficient quorum quencher on virulence factors production and biofilm formation of fish pathogen Aeromonas hydrophila was investigated. QSI-1 reduced the accumulation of AHLs but did not affect the growth of A. hydrophila YJ-1 when cocultured. In the result, the supernatant of QSI-1 showed significant inhibition of protease production (83.9%), hemolytic activity (77.6%) and biofilm formation (77.3%) in YJ-1. In biocontrol experiment, QSI-1 significantly reduced the pathogenicity of A. hydrophila strain YJ-1 in zebrafish (Danio rerio). The fish fed with QSI-1 was observed to have a relative percentage survival of 80.8%. Our results indicate that AHLs degrading bacteria should be considered as an alternative for antibiotics in aquaculture for the biocontrol of bacterial fish diseases.
