Antibacterial Peptides, Probiotic Properties and Biopreservative Efficacy of Native Bacillus Species Isolated from Different Food Sources.
Article in Probiotics and antimicrobial proteins, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
In this study, we evaluated the occurrence of antibacterial peptide (ABP)-producing Bacillus spp. in fermented foods. Among 78 isolated cultures, 25 potential ABP-producing stains were selected and differentiated genotypically and phenotypically. The 16S rRNA gene sequence homology, in combination with morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics, was used for the identification of the isolates. The isolates exhibited inhibitory activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative food-borne pathogens. The antibacterial compounds produced by these cultures were proteinaceous in nature, with molecular weight falling in the range of 3-6.5 kDa. The ABP present in the cell-free supernatant of B. subtilis Ec1 and B. licheniformis Me1 exhibited the highest titre of activity (3,400 AU/ml) and wide range of pH (4-10) and temperature (40-100 °C) stability. The strain Ec1 was found to be exhibiting some in vitro probiotic properties, such as acid and bile tolerance, bile salt hydrolase activity and hydrophobicity towards hydrocarbons. The viable counts of Listeria monocytogenes Scott A in pasteurized milk samples containing ABP of Ec1 were lower than those observed in controls without ABP. The ABP-coated packaging films exhibited antimicrobial activity against the pathogens, indicating the application of ABP from Bacillus spp. in antimicrobial packing materials. These observations increase the likelihood of potential use of the isolated Bacillus spp. or their ABP for application in food biopreservation and as probiotics.
