Variability of Bacillus thuringiensis strains by ERIC-PCR and biofilm formation.
Article in Current microbiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a soil-dwelling bacterium of great interest for agronomical research because of its use as biological pesticide. There are some limitations regarding the subspecies classification. Phenotyping and genotyping studies are important to ascertain its variability. The diversity of 40 environmental strains, isolated from different regions in Mexico, was analyzed by ERIC-PCR and the ability of biofilm formation. Thirty-nine different fingerprinting patterns revealed enough data to discriminate among the 40 strains. A total of 24 polymorphic fragments with sizes between 139 and 1,468 bp were amplified. Almost all (95 %) strains showed biofilm formation after 96 h of incubation. At 96 h of incubation the biofilm-forming strains from the CINVESTAV collection showed a more heterogeneous ability as biofilms producers. Results showed a large intra-species genomic variability in Bt. However, some strains could be correlated as they were found within clusters depending on the location of isolation.
