Molecular Characterization of a Fungus Producing Membrane Active Metabolite and Analysis of the Produced Secondary Metabolite
Article in Iranian biomedical journal, 2019. 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
Background: The majority of studies on soil Aspergillus concern the isolation and characterization of the antimicrobial compounds produced by this organism. Our previous studies indicated an isolated Aspergillus strain soil to be of interest, and this subject is further investigated here. Methods: Soil samples of various locations in Iran were collected. Extract from Aspergillus sp. culture was obtained using ethyl acetate fractionation. Antimicrobial activity testing was performed using broth microdilution assay against Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, and Staphylococcus aureus microorganisms. One metabolite PA3-d10 was isolated from these active extracts and identified using thin layer chromatography, preparative thin-layer chromatography, HPLC, 1HNMR (proton nuclear magnetic resonance), 2D NMR, and LC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry). Results: According to morphological and biochemical properties as well as ITS rDNA sequencing, we identified an isolate of Aspergillus flavus. The ethyl acetate fraction of the fermentation medium containing membrane active metabolites showed antimicrobial effects against different bacterial and yeast indicator strains. One metabolite from these active extracts was finally identified. Conclusion: Membrane active fraction produced by Aspergillus strain in this research demonstrated antimicrobial activities against bacteria and yeast strains. Therefore, this metabolite can be considered as a potential antimicrobial membrane active agent.
