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

Two Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacteria, designated D3-12ᵀ and G2-2ᵀ, were isolated from the phycosphere of marine red algae. Both strains exhibited catalase- and oxidase-positive activities. Strain D3-12ᵀ grew optimally at 30°C, pH 7.0, and 2.0-3.0% (w/v) NaCl, while strain G2-2ᵀ showed optimal growth at 30°C, pH 7.0, and 2.0% NaCl. Ubiquinone-10 was the sole respiratory quinone in both strains. The major fatty acids (> 5%) in strain D3-12ᵀ were feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c and/or C18:1 ω6c), 11-methyl-C18:1 ω7c, and C16:0, while strain G2-2ᵀ contained summed feature 8 and C16:0. The predominant polar lipids in strain D3-12ᵀ were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylethanolamine, whereas strain G2-2ᵀ contained phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. The genomic DNA G + C content was 59.9% for strain D3-12ᵀ and 60.2% for strain G2-2ᵀ. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA and whole-genome sequences placed both strains into distinct lineages within the family Roseobacteraceae, separate from previously described genera. Genome-based relatedness metrics, including average nucleotide identity, digital DNA-DNA hybridization, average amino acid identity, and percentage of conserved proteins, further confirmed that these strains represent novel genera. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and molecular characteristics, strains D3-12ᵀ and G2-2ᵀ are proposed as novel genera: Phycobium rhodophyticola gen. nov., sp. nov. (D3-12ᵀ = KACC 22712ᵀ = JCM 35528ᵀ) and Aliiphycobium algicola gen. nov., sp. nov. (G2-2ᵀ = KACC 22602ᵀ = JCM 35752ᵀ). Additionally, metabolic features relevant to interactions with marine algae, including genes associated with carbohydrate-active enzymes, vitamin biosynthesis, phenylacetic acid production, and bacterioferritin synthesis, were bioinformatically investigated.
