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

Deserts represent extreme environments for microorganisms, and conditions such as high soil salinity, nutrient deficiency, and increased levels of UV radiation make desert soil communities of high biotechnological potential. In this study, we isolated, sequenced, and assembled the genomes of Bacillus safensis strains BcP62 and Bcs93, to which we performed comparative genome analyses. Using the DDH and ANI of both strains with the available B. safensis genomes, we identified three potential subspecies within this group. Intra-species core genome phylogenetic analysis did not result in clustering genomes by niche type, with some exceptions. This study also revealed that the genomes of the analyzed strains possessed plant growth-promoting characteristics, most of which were conserved in all B. safensis strains. Furthermore, we highlight the genetic features of B. safensis BcP62 and Bcs93 related to survival in the Merzouga desert in Morocco. These strains could be potentially used in agriculture as PGPB in extreme environments, given their high tolerability to unfavorable conditions.
