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

The hot spring water of Atri in India was believed to have disease curing property. An antibacterial producing organism was isolated and identified as Bacillus paralicheniformis by morphology, microscopy, and 16S-rRNA. Its secretion inhibited bacteria, yeast, and fungus in well-diffusion-method. The secreted antimicrobial was a 16.74 kDa protein homologous of chicken-lysozyme-C. The novel lysozyme's activities were recorded under different parameters. It was active from pH 5-9 and endured up to 60 °C for 120 min. Complete cell wall lysis of S. flexneri and P. aeruginosa was observed under a microscope at 4500× with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 7.8 µg/ml, while others required a higher dose, i.e., 13 µg/ml, and 20 µg/ml for E.coli and S. typhimurium, respectively. The discovered lysozyme has the extraordinary potential to lyse Gram-positive bacteria, yeast, fungus, and more efficiently lyse chick-lysozyme-C resistant lipopolysaccharide rich Gram-negative bacteria's outer cell wall.
