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

Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases and pathogens present a significant global public health threat that has led researchers to focus on discovering new antimicrobial agents in order to address the challenge. Sponges are a promising source of marine natural products, which can be used as lead molecules for drug discovery. This study was aimed at identifying marine sponges through morphological and molecular techniques and evaluate the bioactivity potential of their organic crude extracts against
