Chitooligosaccharides and Thermostable Chitinase Against Vulvovaginal Candidiasis and Saprophyte Fungi: LC Mass Studies of Shrimp Shell Fermentation by Bacillus altitudinis.
Article in Current microbiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Some patients with candidiasis seek alternatives drug to treat vaginal yeast infection like herbal preparations and probiotics. However, the effectiveness of such treatments has not received much study. In this research, the unique chitinotrophic Bacillus was isolated on shrimp shell from salt lakes and identified as Bacillus altitudinis by 16SRNA sequencing. This strain produced a novel chitin-oligosaccharide material and thermostable chitinase (5.1 units/ml) during 4 days incubation on shrimp shell medium; nevertheless, its growth on nutrient agar was negative. The zymogram showed less than 50 kD protein responsible for chitinase activities. The LC/MS detection of concentrate fermented products showed the production of oligosaccharide during chitin fermentation. As results of shrimp shell degradation, 65.6 mg/l protein, 73.4 mg/l N-acetyl glucose amine, and oligosaccharide were produced. Synergism activities of chitooligosaccharide and chitinase from this strain against fungi and pathogen candida (staining with methylene blue showed that almost 50% of 10
