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

Exopolysaccharides (EPS/EPSs) possess several various applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. This study was performed to investigate the biological (antibiofilm and antitumor), rheological (temperature, shear rate, and density) and chemical (solubility, carbohydrate and protein content, composition, molecular weight, functional group analysis, thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction pattern and scanning electron microscopy) properties of the EPS, which was purified from the locally isolated thermophilic bacterium Anoxybacillus pushchinoensis G11 (MN720646). EPS was found to have antibiofilm and antitumor [lung (A-549) and colon (Caco-2 and HT-29) cancer] activities. The viscosity of EPS showing Newtonian flow was temperature dependent. As chemical properties, the EPS was found to be a heteropolysaccharide containing arabinose (57%), fructose (26%), glucose (12%), and galactose (5%). EPS contained 93% carbohydrates and 1.08% protein. The molecular weight of EPS was determined as 75.5 kDa. The FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of sulfate ester (band at 1217 cm
