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

Response of culturable microbes on the surface of apples treated with slightly alkaline electrolyzed water (SAIEW) is largely unexplored. Thus, the aim of this study was to characterize culturable microbes on the surface of SAIEW treated 'Granny Smith' apples using conventional and molecular approach. Results showed that SAIEW treatments and storage duration influenced culturable microbes isolated from the surface of 'Granny Smith' apples stored at 5 °C for 21 days. Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC-PCR) analysis distinctively identified 27 groups of bacteria from 56 plate isolates. Using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD-PCR) typing and RAPD1283 primers, 10 distinct band patterns were identified from 30 fungal isolates. Sequencing of 16S rRNA and intergenic spacer (ITS1 and ITS4) region, identified eight bacteria and four fungi, respectively, to species level. Study showed that SAIEW treatment inhibited growth of Graphical abstract: Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10068-022-01148-2.
