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

The indiscriminate use of antibiotics in aquaculture has led to the emergence of resistance; hence, eco-friendly, host-specific alternatives to mitigate bacterial infections have become imminent. In this study, bacteria that could possibly serve as probiotics were isolated and evaluated for their efficacy with in vitro experiments and in vivo zebrafish gut model. One isolate from each of the 23 rohu fish (Labeo rohita) was shortlisted after preliminary screening of several isolates and tested for their ability to inhibit two important warm water bacterial fish pathogens, Aeromonas hydrophila, and Edwardsiella tarda. An isolate (RODK28110C3) that showed broad-spectrum inhibitory activity against a battery of different isolates of the two fish pathogens included in this study and maintained in our repository was selected for further characterization. The culture was identified phenotypically as Bacillus subtilis and confirmed by 16S rDNA sequencing. The isolate was able to hydrolyze fish feed constituents that include starch, protein, and cellulose. Further in vitro tests ensured that the potential isolate with probiotic attributes could tolerate different gut conditions, which included a range of pH, salinity, and varying concentrations of bile salt. Exposure of 4 days post fertilization zebrafish embryos to the RFP-tagged isolate confirmed the colonization of B. subtilis in the gut of the zebrafish embryo, which is an important attribute of a probiotic. The isolate was able to inhibit both A. hydrophila and E. tarda in gnotobiotic zebrafish embryo in triplicate. The study demonstrates the probiotic characteristics of the B. subtilis isolated from L. rohita and its ability to inhibit A. hydrophila and E. tarda using in vitro conditions and in the zebrafish gut and could serve as an effective alternative to antibiotics in aquaculture.
