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

V. harveyi is a well-known pathogen-inducing vibriosis, especially for shrimp, fish, and invertebrates. Its virulence is related to biofilm formation and this negatively impacts the aquaculture industry. Therapeutic strategies such as the utilization of probiotic bacteria may slow down Vibrio infections. In this study, we investigated the potential antibiofilm activity of the probiotic Bacillus subtilis C3 for aquaculture. First, B. subtilis C3 biofilm was characterized by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) before testing its bioactivities. We demonstrated antibiofilm activity of B. subtilis C3 culture supernatant, which is mainly composed-among other molecules-of lipopeptidic surfactants belonging to the surfactin family as identified by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-MS/MS. Their antibiofilm activity was confirmed on V. harveyi ORM4 (pFD086) biofilm by CLSM. These findings suggest that the marine probiotic B. subtilis C3 might inhibit or reduce Vibrio colonization and thus decrease the associated animal mortalities.
