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

Several commercial test kits such as Microtox, LUMIStox, ToxAlert, Aboatox, and ToxScreen have been widely used for toxicity screening. Though this time saving assays offer excellent sensitivity, cost-effectiveness, and accuracy, these commercial assays are limited in terms of real-time monitoring in Indian coastal environment due to warmer temperatures. This necessitates the need to develop a rapid and accurate assay that can be effectively employed for real time monitoring with respect to heavy metals in the Indian coastal waters. With this objective, the present study was conducted by isolating an indigenous luminescent bacterium from the light organs of chordates Gazza minuta which showed higher luminescence in a wide range of temperatures. The isolate could grow well in the temperature of 30 ± 2 °C and withstand temperature up to 35 ± 2 °C. The isolated bacterium was identified as Photobacterium leiognathi GoMGm1 based on 16S rDNA and luxA gene sequences. The suitable growing medium was optimized using central composite rotational design (CCRD) method to obtain optimal growth and luminescence. The optimized medium exemplified the maximal growth and luminescence of P. leiognathi at OD
