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

Microbes are prolific in synthesizing diverse compounds in response to varying environmental conditions, many of which have applications in insect pest control. Fewer than 20,000 of the estimated millions of bacteria have been named, and only a small subset of known bacteria has led to the development of some of today's most critical pesticides, so the potential for discovering new insecticidal compounds from bacteria remains vast. We collected 1,663 bacterial isolates from environmental samples across diverse habitats in Crete. Screening 788 of these for larvicidal activity against
