Forms and mechanisms for Escherichia coli long-term survival in silanol-humate gels.

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.
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
Immobilization of bacteria with various types of metabolism (aerobic hydrocarbon oxidizers and fermentative lactic acid bacteria) into silanol-humate gels (SHG) resulted in increase in the number of the cells surviving long-term storage (for months or years) under room conditions by 1-3 orders of magnitude regarding non-stabilized cultures. The goal of the present work was to investigate the effect of SHG immobilization and storage on survival of Escherichia coli К-12 (MG1655), capable of both respiratory and fermentative metabolism. SHG immobilization of E. coli was shown to result in an adaptive response, including acquisition of a hypometabolic state, slow growth of surviving cells, and transition of some of the population to dormant forms. Survival efficiency in SHG depended on the presence and properties of organic acids used as titrants during gelation. The highest viable cell titer after 5 months of incubation was achieved in SHG obtained using ascorbic, malic, citric, or lactic acids (50-100 times higher than in the control, cells in liquid medium). Utilization of acids as energy sources for the maintenance of cell viability was monitored by their consumption and CO
