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
Previous genome mining of the strains Bacillus pumilus 7PB, Bacillus safensis 1TAz, 8Taz, and 32PB, and Priestia megaterium 16PB isolated from canola revealed differences in the profile of antimicrobial biosynthetic genes when compared to the species type strains. To evaluate not only the similarities among B. pumilus, B. safensis, and P. megaterium genomes but also the specificities found in the canola bacilli, we performed comparative genomic analyses through the pangenome evaluation of each species. Besides that, other genome features were explored, especially focusing on plant-associated and biotechnological characteristics. The combination of the genome metrics Average Nucleotide Identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization formulas 1 and 3 adopting the universal thresholds of 95 and 70%, respectively, was suitable to verify the identification of strains from these groups. On average, core genes corresponded to 45%, 52%, and 34% of B. pumilus, B. safensis, and P. megaterium open pangenomes, respectively. Many genes related to adaptations to plant-associated lifestyles were predicted, especially in the Bacillus genomes. These included genes for acetoin production, polyamines utilization, root exudate chemoreceptors, biofilm formation, and plant cell-wall degrading enzymes. Overall, we could observe that strains of these species exhibit many features in common, whereas most of their variable genome portions have features yet to be uncovered. The observed antifungal activity of canola bacilli might be a result of the synergistic action of secondary metabolites, siderophores, and chitinases. Genome analysis confirmed that these species and strains have biotechnological potential to be used both as agricultural inoculants or hydrolases producers. Up to our knowledge, this is the first work that evaluates the pangenome features of P. megaterium.
