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 effect of low-intensity fixed-frequency continuous ultrasound (LIFFCU) on the growth of Bacillus licheniformis YYC4 was investigated. The changes in morphology and activity of the organism, contributing to the growth were also explored. Compared with the control, a significant increase (48.95%) in the biomass of B. licheniformis YYC4 (at the logarithmic metaphase) was observed following the LIFFCU (28 kHz, 1.5 h and 120 W (equivalent to power density of 40 W/L)) treatment. SEM images showed that ultrasonication caused sonoporation, resulting in increased membrane permeability, evidenced by increase in cellular membrane potential, electrical conductivity of the culture, extracellular protein and nucleic acid, and intracellular Ca
