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 recent decades, marine microorganisms have become known for their ability to produce a wide variety of secondary bioactive metabolites. Several compounds have been isolated from marine microorganisms for the development of novel bioactives for the food and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, a number of microalgae were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including food and plant pathogens, using various extraction techniques and antimicrobial assays. Disc diffusion and spot-on-lawn assays were conducted to confirm the antimicrobial activity. To measure the potency of the extracts, minimum inhibition concentrations (MIultCs) were measured. Three microalgae, namely
