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.
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
Among the milk contaminating microorganisms, those which are able to form heat-resistant spores are concerning, especially for dairy companies that use ultra-high temperature (UHT) technology. These spores, throughout storage, can germinate and produce hydrolytic enzymes that compromise the quality of the final product. This study evaluated 184 UHT milk samples from different batches collected from seven Brazilian dairy companies with a possible microbial contamination problem. The bacteria were isolated, phenotypically characterized, clustered by REP-PCR, and identified through 16S rDNA sequencing. The presence of Bacillus sporothermodurans was verified using biochemical tests (Gram staining, catalase and oxidase test, glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis, nitrate reduction, and urease test). According to these tests, none of the isolates presented typical characteristics of B. sporothermodurans. In sequence, the isolates, that presented rod-shapes, were submitted to molecular analyses in order to determine the microbial biodiversity existing among them. The isolates obtained were grouped into 16 clusters, four of which were composed of only one individual. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using the sequences obtained from the 16S rDNA sequencing and some reference strains of species close to those found using BLAST search in the NCBI nucleotide database. Through this tree, it was possible to verify the division of the isolates into two large groups, the Bacillus subtilis and the Bacillus cereus groups. Furthermore, most isolates are phylogenetically closely related, which makes it even more difficult to identify them at the species level. In conclusion, it was possible to assess, in general, the groups of sporulated contaminants in Brazilian UHT milk produced in the regions evaluated. In addition, it was also possible to determine the biodiversity of spore-forming bacteria found in UHT milk samples, thus opening up a range of possible research topics regarding the effects of the presence of these microorganisms on milk quality.
