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

This study investigates the bioactive potential of secondary metabolites produced by endophytic bacteria isolated from Enhydra fluctuans Lour., a medicinal plant known for its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Fresh leaves were collected, surface-sterilized, and used to isolate bacterial endophytes. The isolates were identified morphologically and confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Metabolites were extracted using ethyl acetate and assessed for antibacterial activity via the disc diffusion method and antioxidant capacity by DPPH radical scavenging assay. GC-MS was used to identify volatile bioactive substances. The isolate showed 91.75% similarity with Pseudomonas campi (NR_181172.1), indicating a distant relationship and suggesting it may represent a novel or uncharacterized taxon. The isolate was mostly sensitive to Ciprofloxacin (5 µg). Its ethyl acetate crude extract showed moderate antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with a 13.4 ± 0.21 mm inhibition zone at 500 µg/disc, compared to kanamycin (30 µg/disc). Antioxidant activity showed an IC
