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

Streptomyces species are well-known for their antifungal properties and the production of diverse secondary metabolites, including non-ribosomal peptides and polyketides. These metabolites can be identified through various genetic techniques, allowing for the investigation of gene functions using whole-genome databases. Numerous studies have explored the genetic functions of Streptomyces using advanced techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis, to generate site-specific mutant strains. In this study, we re-identified Streptomyces sp. J6 as Streptomyces anandii J6 through whole-genome sequencing and average nucleotide identity (ANI) analysis. The type II and type III polyketide synthase clusters (PKS: clusters 9, 10, and 12) were further studied using CRISPR-Cas9 for functional analysis, revealing the role of srsA in the biosynthesis of alkylresorcinols, which are phenolic lipids with antifungal properties. These results indicate that metabolites belonging to the polyketide family produced by Streptomyces plays a significant role in the biocontrol activity of microorganisms against plant diseases. Furthermore, the findings suggest that specific PKS profiling enables the rapid and efficient screening of a large number of microbial candidates, thereby facilitating the selection of promising biocontrol agents.
