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

backgroundMarine sediment bacteria have been generating considerable attention lately due to their potential as valuable reservoirs of novel antimicrobial agents.

aim

methodsCoastal sediment samples were collected from Rameswaram, Ramnathapuram District, Tamil Nadu, India. Bacteria were isolated using the crowded plate method, and their phenotypic and genotypic characteristics were studied. Purified bacteria were cultured in large volumes, secondary metabolites were extracted, and novel antibacterial agents were isolated from the aqueous extract. Novel compound antibacterial activity was studied through

resultsGenotypic analysis confirmed that the isolated S-2 bacteria were

conclusionMarine bacterium E. lactis produces a novel antibacterial compound (13-hydroxy- 9-(1-hydroxyethyl)-11-methoxy-2,4-dioxapentacyclo[10.7.1.0³,⁷.0⁸,²⁰.0¹⁴,¹⁹]icosa-1(20),5,7,12, 14(19),16-hexane-18-one), which shows antibacterial activity against clinical S. aureus, confirmed by in vitro and in silico analysis. This molecule can used as a lead molecule for antibacterial activity.
