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
An endophytic bacterium having the capability to produce biosurfactant was isolated from the root gall of Lady's finger (Abelmoschus esculentus). The stain reduces the surface tension of the culture media from 50.8mN to 30.8mN in 24 h and produces 3.3 g/L of biosurfactant at 48 h of incubation using glucose as a carbon source. It was revealed from the characterization of the biosurfactant that the strain produces a lipopeptide type of biosurfactant and the main component of the lipopeptide was surfactin. The bacterial strain was further characterized through molecular technique and identified as Providencia vermicola which was designated as strain SCL1. The biosurfactant produced by the strain was found to exhibit efficient antifungal activities against phytopathogenic fungi Colletotrichum gleoisporoides, Sclerotinium sclerotiorum, and Corynespora cassicolla. This is the first report that an endophytic bacterium Providencia vermicola can produce lipopeptide biosurfactant having antifungal properties against certain phytopathogenic fungi.
