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

Bacillus coagulans is a thermophilic, facultative anaerobic, spore-forming Gram-positive bacterium, which is used as a probiotic in animal feed and human dietary supplements. In the present study, a bile-resistant thermophilic B. coagulans WT-03 strain was isolated and genetically identified. Atmospheric pressure room temperature plasma (ARTP)-induced mutation combined with adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) was used to improve the probiotic performance of B. coagulans WT-03. After 15 s of ARTP mutation and 40 days of ALE culture, a mutant artp-aleBC15 was obtained and showed the improved tolerance to pH 2.5 and 0.3% bile salt with a survival rate of 22.4%. Further studies showed that the artp-aleBC15 mutant exhibited a relatively stable morphology, lower permeability, and higher hydrophobicity of cell membrane compared with the parent strain of B. coagulans. Additionally, artp-aleBC15 could maintain homeostasis with an intracellular pH of over 4.5 and had the altered contents of saturated fatty acids/unsaturated fatty acids in the cell membrane at pH 2.5. Our study proved that ARTP mutation combined with ALE is an efficient mutagenesis strategy to improve the probiotic performance of B. coagulans for potential industrial use.Key Points• A B. coagulans strain that can grow at 80 °C and 0.3% bile salt was screened.• ARTP combined with ALE effectively mutated B. coagulans WT-03.• B. coagulans artp-aleBC15 mutant showed an improved probiotic performance.• The mutant exhibited the lower permeability and altered fatty acid contents in the cell membrane.
