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

Alginate, a carbohydrate polymer produced by seaweed and some bacteria, is widely used in the food and medicine industries. Alginate oligosaccharides, produced by depolymerizing alginate, exhibit diverse biological functions, such as plant protection and growth promotion, enhancement of microbial metabolic activity, and potential applications in biofuel production. This study isolated 13 alginate-degrading bacterial strains from over a thousand seaside soil bacteria in South Korea and investigated their alginate-degrading characteristics. Through 16S rDNA sequencing,
