Molecular and biological characterization of pyocyanin from clinical and environmental Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Article in Microbial cell factories, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPyocyanin is a secondary metabolite secreted by P. aeruginosa. It is a redox-active blue/green phenazine pigment that has various beneficial applications. The present study aims at screening the production of pyocyanin among clinical and environmental P. aeruginosa isolates in Dakahlya governorate, Egypt. Thereafter, large-scale production, purification, structure elucidation, and assessment of the biological activity of the highest pyocyanin producers were targeted.
resultsPyocyanin from the highest clinical (PsC05) and environmental (PsE02) producers were subjected to large-scale production, followed by purification using silica gel column. Pyocyanin was characterized using TLC, UV-Vis,
conclusionsP. aeruginosa clinical and environmental isolates produce pyocyanin pigment in varying amounts. Pyocyanin exhibits substantial anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal activity; thus, enhancing its medical applicability. It could be used to inhibit and/or eradicate biofilm from the surfaces of medical devices which is a chief source of nosocomial infections. Its antioxidant along with cytotoxic activity against cancer cell lines, make it a promising contender for use as a substitute for synthetic agents in cancer treatment.
