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

Saprolegnia parasitica, belonging to oomycetes, is one of virulent pathogen of fishes such as salmon and trout, and causes tremendous damage and losses in commercial aquacultures by saprolegniasis. Previously, malachite green, an effective medicine, had been used to control saprolegniasis. However, this drug has been banned around the world due to its mutagenicity. Therefore, novel anti-saprolegniasis compounds are urgently needed. As a new frontier to discover bioactive compounds, we focused on the deep-sea fungi for the isolation of anti-saprolegniasis compounds. In this paper, on the course of anti-saprolegniasis agents from 546 cultured broths of 91 deep-sea fungal strains, we report a new compound, named quellenin (1) together with three known compounds, diorcinol (2), violaceol-I (3) and violaceol-II (4), from deep-sea fungus Aspergillus sp. YK-76. This strain was isolated from an Osedax sp. annelid, commonly called bone-eating worm, collected at the São Paulo Ridge in off Brazil. Compounds 2, 3 and 4 showed anti-S. parasitica activity. Our results suggest that diorcinol and violaceol analogs and could be good lead candidates for the development of novel agents to prevent saprolegniasis.
