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

Probiotics are promising substitute to synthetic agrochemicals for improving fish health in the aquaculture system. The probiotics used in the aquaculture sector of Bangladesh are mostly imported. While these probiotics can offer benefits, probiotic-supplemented diet sometimes shows inconsistent results mainly due to incompatibility between the probiotic strains and local aquatic environment or fish species. Therefore, the development of probiotics from native fish species could be an alternative to mitigate the possible detrimental effects of imported probiotics on aquaculture production in Bangladesh. Thus, this study aimed to isolate and identify potential probiotic bacteria from the gut of Asian stinging catfish and to evaluate their efficiency in improving physiological parameters and organ morphology of the host fish. Following morphological and biochemical screening of the bacterial isolates, five isolates having potential probiotic traits were identified as Bacillus safensis (HF8), Bacillus altitudinis (HF10), Bacillus pacificus (HF19), Bacillus cereus (HF20), and Bacillus cereus (HF21) using 16S rRNA sequencing through the Barcode-Tagged Sequencing™ (BTSeq™) platform. Five probiotic bacteria, either individually or as a consortium, showed varying degrees of susceptibility to the thirteen antibiotics tested. Isolates HF8, HF19, and HF21 and the probiotic consortium demonstrated antagonistic activity against Aeromonas hydrophila, with strain HF8 exhibiting better inhibition efficiency.
