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 putative gene encoding mersacidin like lantibiotic bacteriocin (lanA) was identified in Bacillus licheniformis genome. The lanA open reading frame codes for 74 amino acids with calculated isoelectric point of 6.7 and molecular mass of 8.2 kDa. The lanA gene was amplified from B. licheniformis MKU3, cloned in pQE30 vector and overexpressed in Escherichia coli M15. The recombinant peptide was purified to homogeneity using Ni-NTA chromatography and the SDS-PAGE analysis of the purified peptide revealed it to be a monomer with molecular mass of ~8.5 kDa. The purified bacteriocin showed wide spectrum activity against gram-positive pathogens. The peptide was found to be stable under in wide range of pH, temperature tolerant and resistant to the proteolytic enzymes. The stable nature of the bacteriocin to high temperature and resistant to various chemicals it also exhibited antimicrobial activity against food-borne pathogens make this bacteriocin as potent attractive antimicrobial agent in food products.
