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

Marine invertebrates, particularly ascidians, constitute an important source of potential active and biofunctional natural products. The microbial diversity associated with ascidians is little recognized, although these microorganisms play a vital role in marine ecosystems. The objective of this study was to investigate bacterial population diversity in four ascidian samples: Phallusia nigra, Phallusia fumigata, Eudistoma viride, and Rhopalaea macrothorax, collected from the North Bay, Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Microbial strains identified up to the species level revealed 236 distinct species/ribotypes out of 298 bacterial strains. Of 298 ascidian-associated bacteria, 72 isolates belong to the class Gammaproteobacteria and the genus Endozoicomonas. The results from this investigation will contribute a broaden knowledge of microbial diversity associated to marine ascidians, and as a promising source for the discovery of new natural products.
