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

Traditionally fermented pickles are a popular street food in Bangladesh famous for their unique flavors and health benefits. Pickles are often prepared by fermentation using lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that can act as probiotics. The study was aimed to isolate and characterize lactic acid bacteria from pickle samples collected from streets of Dhaka city, as well as assess the microbial quality of pickles for food safety. A total of 30 pickle samples of different kinds were collected from streets of Dhaka city. Isolation and identification were conducted using conventional cultural and biochemical tests, followed by molecular confirmation of identity. Antibiotic susceptibility of isolates was investigated against 7 antibiotics of different groups. Antimicrobial activity of LAB isolates was analyzed by well-diffusion assay and phenotypic enterocin activity assay. Physiological characterizations of LAB were performed to determine their tolerance to temperature, salt, pH, bile, carbohydrate fermentation pattern, proteolytic activity and biofilm formation. Fifty isolates were obtained from pickle samples, of which 18% was identified as LAB, including
