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

In this study, EPS production conditions of Geobacillus thermodenitrificans HBB 111, a thermophilic microorganism, were optimized and the amount of produced EPS (EPS 111) was found to be 44.0 mg/L. EPS 111 was purified using ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography, and a single type of exopolysaccharide was obtained. The structure of the purified EPS 111 was evaluated by TLC, FTIR, NMR, and GC-MS, and it was observed that it contained hexose (glucose, fructose, galactose and mannose) and pentose sugars. From the SEM photographs, it was understood that EPS 111 had an amorphous, rough, and layered structure. It was found that purified EPS 111 had low cytotoxicity (2.3%) and exhibited high antioxidant activity and remarkable antidiabetic, prebiotic and fibrinolytic activities. It is very valuable that the purified EPS 111 in this study offers multiple biological activities compared to the thermophilic EPSs reported in the literature and has a high potential for use in biotechnological and biomedical fields.
