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

Fungal deterioration of food and feed commodities by mycotoxigenic fungi has become a significant complication worldwide. Fusarium contamination produces extremely noxious mycotoxins such as Fumonisin B1 (FB1) and Fumonisin B2 (FB2), which affect human and animal well-being. The present work explored the fungicidal activities of probiotic bacteria isolated from the traditional fermented food Vellappam. About 20 isolates were obtained from the sample and subjected to initial screening against Fusarium verticillioides. Out of 20, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum MYSN128 exhibited potent antifungal activity against F. verticillioides. Moreover, the isolate MYSN128 was found to survive in acidic and bile environments, but it was susceptible to the tested antibiotics. The isolate displayed 61% autoaggregation, 59.52% cell surface hydrophobicity, and chicken crop epithelial cell adherence. L. plantarum MYSN128 and its CFS affected the growth of conidia, resulting in deformed and damaged conidia. A cell-free supernatant (CFS) at a 20% concentration efficiently reduced mycelial biomass to 0.269 ± 0.11 g, compared to the control at 1.938 ± 0.15 g. Similarly, conidial germination was repressed to 19.12% ± 1.15, and a reduction in F. verticillioides growth was observed on maize seeds treated with CFS after 7 days of incubation. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) copy number of F. verticillioides declined to 5.23 × 10⁷ and 8.026 × 10⁷ in the presence of L. plantarum MYSN128 and its CFS, respectively, in comparison to 8.940 × 10
