Antimicrobial activity of Actinobacteria isolated from dry land soil in Yazd, Iran.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Historically, many important secondary metabolites including antibiotics used in clinic are purified from the cultural broths of Actinobacteria, which were inhabited in soil. Yazd is located in the center of Iran, the south of the Dasht-e Kavir and the west of the Dasht-e Lut; accordingly it has a hot, dry climate with long summers. In the present study, 18 strains of Actinobacteria isolated from 60 soil samples from Yazd-Iran. Pure isolates were screened for antibacterial activity against the ATCC strains by using two methods: single line streak method and spot inoculation method. ATCC strains include four antibiotic resistant ATCC strains (Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae and, Acinetobacter baumannii) and three antibiotic sensitive strains (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli) and, Bacillus subtilis. Seven isolates exhibited antimicrobial activity against the ATCC strains (38.8%). Identification of type I and type II polyketide synthases (pksI, pksII) and nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) genes were done for these 7 isolates and all of 7 strains, possessed at least one of these genes. The results of this study confirm that soil Actinobacteria bear a great ability to produce antibacterial compounds against resistant and sensitive test organisms.
