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

backgroundPlants and microorganisms are at the forefront of natural exploitable bioresources for the discovery of novel bioactive compounds (BACs) to provide solutions to food and agricultural challenges. The present study aimed to produce a novel biotechnologically-relevant BAC from a mangrove sediment bacterium under optimized bioprocess medium conditions. The BAC-producing bacteria were isolated via the crowded plate technique, and medium optimization was performed via sequential statistics of response surface methodology (RSM). The RSM model predictions were optimized, validated, and scaled up in a 5-L bioreactor via submerged batch fermentation. The BAC was extracted with ethyl acetate, purified via silica gel column chromatography, and identified via semipreparative high-performance liquid chromatography using bioactive standards with known retention times. The biocontrol, antioxidant and biopreservation potential of the BAC were evaluated via standard methods.

resultsThe results revealed that strain GKRMS-A9 produced the largest inhibition zone diameter (ZND) of 17 mm against the susceptible mould. The bacterium and its susceptible mould were identified as Lysinibacillus macroides and Aspergillus austroafricanus strains, respectively. Bioprocess medium optimization produced 9.6 g L

conclusionThe bacteriocin 'macroidin' is stable over a wide range of pH values and temperatures and has significant antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive food-borne and phytopathogenic strains of bacteria and moulds. Its antioxidant activities against DPPH and ABTS*
