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 emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens underscores the urgent need for novel antimicrobial agents. In this study, ten endophytic fungal isolates (Ls1-Ls10) were isolated for the first time from Lavandula stricta and evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella oxytoca, and Candida albicans. The most potent fungal isolate Ls1 was identified as Sarocladium kiliense using morphological and molecular techniques. Phytochemical analysis indicated that the S. kiliense extract is abundant in bioactive compounds, including phenolics, tannins, flavonoids, and alkaloids. The GC mass analysis proved the presence of 41 active compounds in the S. kiliense. Extract including; Benzene, (1-propylnonyl) (9.87%), Hexadecanoic acid (8.05%), Prostaglandin A1-biotin (6.77%), Docosene (6.69%), Octadecenoic acid (5.55%), and 1-Nonadecene (5.16%). The crude extract of S. kiliense showed outstanding anticancer activity against cancerous Hep-G2 and MCF-7 cell lines with IC50 of 31.7 and 49.8 µg/ml, respectively. This isolate exhibited significant antimicrobial activity, with inhibition zones ranging from 16.1 ± 0.1 mm to 35.5 mm. MICs varied between 62.5 and 250 µg/mL. S. kiliense exhibited antioxidant activity and antibiofilm activities. The S. kiliense extract demonstrated concentration-dependent antibiofilm activity. In conclusion, S. kiliense as a hopeful home of bioactive combinations with potent antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, and antibiofilm activities, offering the potential for combating multidrug-resistant pathogens and therapeutic applications.
