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

Lactic acid bacteria are commonly in the fermentation industry and pose potential positive effects on health. In this study, a new lactic acid bacterium was isolated from fermented vegetable extracts in Myoko, Niigata, Japan. This bacterium is fructophilic, acidophilic, and hard to grow on agar medium. The isolate is Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming, non-motile, rod-shaped, and catalase-negative. Growth occurred at pH 3.5-5.5, with optimal growth at pH 4.5-5.0. The cells formed colonies on a solid MRS medium with 20% (w/v) sucrose and 0.8% (w/v) gellan gum under anaerobic conditions. The bacterium was able to grow on up to 50% (w/v) sucrose but not on d-glucose. Moreover, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the strain was most closely related to Apilactobacillus ozensis (93.1% sequence similarity). The values of average nucleotide identity, digital DNA-DNA hybridization, average amino acid sequence identity, and amino acid identity of conserved genes were calculated between the isolated strain (type strain is WR16-4T = NBRC 115064T = DSM 112857T) and its phylogenetically closest type strains. The average nucleotide identity values (73.36-78.28%) and DNA-DNA hybridization values (16.3-32.9%) were significantly lower than the threshold values for species boundaries. The average amino acid sequence identity values (53.96-60.88%) were significantly below the threshold boundary of genus demarcation (68%). The amino acid identity of conserved genes values compared to strain WR16-4T were the genera Apilactobacillus, Nicoliella spurrieriana SGEP1_A5T, Acetilactobacillus jinshanensis HSLZ-75T, and Fructilactobacillus were 62.51-63.79%, 62.87%, 62.03%, and 58.00-61.04%, respectively. The 16S rRNA gene and core genome phylogenetic trees suggested that this novel strain was most closely related to the type strain of A. jinshanensis HSLZ-75T. Based on the physiological, morphological, and phenotypical characteristics of strain WR16-4T, we propose its classification as a novel genus, Philodulcilactobacillus myokoensis gen. nov., sp. nov.
