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

This study reports the development of a 3-step strategy that is both cost-effective and quick to screen marine organisms and validate the presence of extracellular nucleases. The assay plates (M9 or Luria Broth [LB] media with 500 mM salt) were overlaid with a thin layer of top agar containing Toluidine Blue as the indicator and salmon sperm DNA as the substrate. Primary screening of halophiles was based on their zone of clearance. Secondary screening of the isolates involved assaying the supernatants using a well-diffusion assay. The isolates were further screened and validated by ammonium sulfate fractionation of the cell-free supernatants to enrich the secreted nuclease. The three-step method narrowed down nine potential isolates from ∼500 bacterial colonies, of which SH1 demonstrated nuclease activity, discernibly due to a secreted extracellular enzyme(s). Further characterization of this enriched nuclease(s) showed that it is likely made up of multiple peptides/subunits, acts as an endo- as well as exonuclease, degrades both DNA and RNA, is Mg
