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 the present study, eleven endophytic bacterial strains, Herbaspirillum sp. (GP-SGM1, GP-SGM2, GP-SGM3, and GP-SGM11), Pseudomonas sp. (GP-SGM4, GP-SGM5), Novosphingobium sp. GP-SGM6, Chryseobacterium sp. GP-SGM7, Labedella sp. GP-SGM8, Brevibacterium sp. GP-SGM9, and Pseudomonas sp. GP-SGM10, were isolated from the rhizomes of Gunnera perpensa L. The growth kinetics, assessed through maximum growth rates (μmax) and optical density (OD) values, revealed that GP-SGM7 exhibited highest μmax values of 0.33 ± 0.01 hours (h)-1 with an OD of 4.20 ± 0.04. In contrast, GP-SGM11 exhibited the lowest μmax of 0.12 ± 0.05 h-1 and the smallest OD of 1.50 ± 0.00. In addition, the endophyte crude extracts were tested for antibacterial activity against five pathogenic strains using the disk diffusion method, with GP-SGM7 crude extracts exhibiting promising antibacterial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. Antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) assays. The crude extracts of GP-SGM1, GP-SGM7, GP-SGM9, and GP-SGM10 were the most effective at scavenging DPPH radicals, with GP-SGM7 also exhibiting a high FRAP value of 0.54 ± 0.01. These findings emphasize the therapeutic potential of endophytic bacteria from G. perpensa L. in addressing skin-related issues, including bacterial infections and free radicals.
