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

In the present study, a new biocontrol strain, Bacillus subtilis KU-153, was isolated from the Korean traditional fermented food Kimchi and evaluated for its ability to reduce the ochratoxin A (OTA) content in culture medium. A 16 S rRNA gene sequencing analysis revealed the identity of newly isolated strain KU-153 as B. subtilis. The growth kinetic study of B. subtilis KU-153, in terms of the OTA reduction in culture medium, confirmed its biocontrol efficacy. To verify its ability to reduce the OTA content in culture medium, bacterial extracts (intracellular and extracellular) of B. subtilis were separated and compared with whole B. subtilis cells (viable and heat-killed). No reduction in the OTA content was observed in culture medium with extracellular and intracellular extracts, while viable and heat-killed cells of B. subtilis showed significant levels (p < 0.05) of OTA reduction in culture medium. Interestingly, B. subtilis heat-treated cells showed a higher OTA reduction (45%) than viable cells (22%). Further, B. subtilis heat-treated cells were assessed for their ability to reduce OTA levels in artificially contaminated red wine samples that resulted in an OTA reduction of approximately 90%, suggesting the biocontrol potential of the newly isolated strain B. subtilis KU-153 on OTA reduction.
