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

This study aimed to select and characterize lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with potential antifungal activities against the filamentous fungi Alternaria alternata ATCC MYA-4642, Aspergillus flavus KACC 45470, Aspergillus niger KACC 42589, Cladosporium sphaerospermum ATCC MYA-4645, Penicillium chrysogenum ATCC MYA-4644, and Penicillium expansum KACC 40815. Initial screening of the antifungal activity has identified six LAB strains belonging to the genera Enterococcus and Leuconostoc, selected by their antagonistic activities against at least three of the filamentous fungi in the test panel. Preliminary prediction of bioactive compounds was carried out to narrow down the possible identity of the antagonistic metabolites produced by the studied LAB. Furthermore, metabolic profiles were assessed and used as a basis for the identification of key metabolites based on VIP scores and PCA plot scores. Key metabolites were identified to be β-phenyllactic acid, ⍺-hydroxyisobutyric acid, 1,3-butanediol, phenethylamine, and benzoic acid. Individual assessment of each metabolic compound against the test panel showed specificity inhibitory patterns; yet, combinations between them only showed additive, but not synergetic effects. The pH neutralization significantly reduced the antifungal activity of the cell-free supernatant (CFS), but no bioactive compounds were found to be stable in high temperatures and pressure. This study will be beneficial as an additional building block on the existing knowledge and future antifungal application of LAB produced metabolites. Furthermore, this study also provides a new bio-preservative perspective on unexplored antifungal metabolites produced by LAB as biocontrol agents.
