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 endophytic actinobacteria associated with Artemisia herba-alba (synonym: Seriphidium herba-alba) are highly diverse. This study aimed to illustrate the extent of their differences from the free-living actinobacteria in the surrounding environment. A selection of eighteen actinobacteria inhabiting A. herba-alba were compared with twenty and ten actinobatceria isolates from the surrounding desert and groundwater, respectively, representing six genera. Antagonistic and enzymatic activities, plant growth-promoting traits, and the occurrence of biosynthetic genes were compared among the isolates. Data were analyzed statistically using principal component analysis (PCA) and were visualized using heat map. Endophytic strains showed higher antimicrobial activity and production of plant growth promoters compared to desert and groundwater strains. Polyketide synthase and non-ribosomal peptide synthetase gene clusters were detected at higher frequencies in the endophytic strains (8 and 11 strains, respectively) than the desert strains (1 and 2 strains, respectively). In contrast, both gene clusters were not detected in the groundwater strains. The PCA revealed unique metabolic characteristics of the endophytes. The heatmap clustered the endophytic strains apart from the free-living strains, indicating distinctive qualitative and quantitative bioactivities. Analysis of 16S rRNA genes confirmed the chemotaxonomic identity of all but two strains, with > 94.5% similarity. Six endophytes displayed < 99.5% similarity with their closest type strains, which might indicate species novelty. This study provides an evidence of functional differences and possible species novelty of the endophytic actinobacteria inhabiting A. herba-alba, compared with the free-living species.
