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

Marine bacteria could serve as a potential source of natural carotenoids. Bacillus infantis, (Accession number OP601610), a bacterium with the ability to synthesize carotenoids, was isolated from the marine environment and used in this investigation to produce an orange pigment. Additionally, the production, extraction, partial characterization, and biological activity of orange pigment are reported in the current work. The orange pigment was identified as a carotenoid group of pigment by UV-Visible spectrophotometry, FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy), and TLC (Thin-layer chromatography) characterization of the methanolic extract of the pigment. The pigment showed antimicrobial activity against four Gram-negative strains (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella enterica ser. typhi MTCC 733, and Serratia marcescens MTCC 86), three Gram-positive strains (Bacillus megaterium MTCC 3353, Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 96, and Staphylococcus epidermis MTCC 3382), and antioxidant potential by ABTS [2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)], DPPH (2,2-diphenyl 1-picrylhydrazyl), H
