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

The study focused on the evaluation of the probiotic potency of Bacillus velenzensis STPB10, isolated from the digestive tract of the hillstream fish Snow trout (Schizothorax richardsonii). Ten B. velezensis strains were identified through colony morphology, biochemical analysis, and 16 S rRNA methods. The representative laboratory strain STPB10, was subjected to various in vitro assessments including tolerance to pH, bile salt resistance, NaCl, temperature, biofilm, endospore formation, antibiotic susceptibility and antagonistic activity to determine its potential as a probiotic strain. B. velezensis STPB10 exhibited positive results for catalase, glucose, arginine, lysine, and endospore tests, while it yielded negative results for oxidative/fermentative, DNase, and urease tests. This test isolate was γ-hemolytic in nature and demonstrated growth across a temperature range of 15 to 35 °C. Moreover, it exhibited survival rates of 31, 39.7, 47, 63, and 75% at pH values of 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, and 4, respectively, after 6 h of incubation. At a bile salt concentration of 0.3%, the bacterium exhibited a survivability of more than 99%. A strong biofilm production by B. velezensis STPB10 was detected in tryptone soya broth enriched with 0.45% glucose (p < 0.05). It also exhibited significantly greater adhesion to intestinal mucus (63.67%). Following exposure of the intestinal mucus to B. velezensis STPB10, the adhesion of A. hydrophila, A. veronii, (A) salmonicida and V. anguillarum to the mucus was notably reduced. It was susceptible to several antibiotics and produced an antagonistic effect against pathogenic bacteria Aeromonas salmonicida, Aeromonas veronii, Vibrio anguillarum, and Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from diseased fish. The pathogenicity of (B) velezensis STPB10 through intraperitoneal injection and immersion challenge at cell concentrations of 10
