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

objectivesPseudolactococcus raffinolactis-a lactic acid-producing bacterium recently reclassified from Lactococcus-demonstrates emerging potential for probiotics and food applications. We report the complete genome of strain GCULR isolated from a stranded spotted seal (Phoca largha) in Korea, to provide genomic data for understanding beneficial bacteria in marine mammals. DATA DESCRIPTION: P. raffinolactis strain GCULR was isolated from a stranded spotted seal in Korea, and its whole genome was sequenced using PacBio and Illumina X-10 platforms. Its complete genome comprises a single circular chromosome of 2,270,555 bp with 39.9% GC content and no plasmids. Annotation revealed 2,260 genes, including 2,145 protein-coding sequences, 56 transfer RNAs, 13 ribosomal RNAs, 3 non-coding RNAs, and 43 pseudogenes. Comparative analysis showed an average nucleotide identity of 99.3% with strain WiKim0068, confirming its close relationship with a food-derived isolate. Genome-based screening revealed the presence of several potential virulence- and antimicrobial resistance-associated genes and two intact prophage regions. AntiSMASH analysis predicted a conserved bacteriocin biosynthetic cluster, indicating its functional potential. These findings offer novel insights into the beneficial bacteria in endangered marine mammals and expand our understanding of the ecological and functional diversity of P. raffinolactis.
