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

Biological control has emerged as an alternative approach for mitigating plant diseases and minimizing the disproportionate use of agrochemicals and their hazardous impacts. Myxobacteria, a group of swarming soil bacteria, owing to their predatory mechanisms, are of particular interest such as their biocontrol potential. The present study investigates the antagonistic potential of myxobacteria isolated from various eco-geographical regions of India against phytopathogenic fungi, including Sclerotinia sp., Colletotrichum capsici, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium solani, and Fusarium oxysporum. Myxococcus fulvus (ST/P/71) isolate exhibited significant broad-range antagonistic activity. ST/P/71 extract demonstrated antifungal activity against F. solani and inhibited biofilm formation by both F. solani and A. flavus. The ST/P/71 isolate was also observed to produce cell wall-degrading enzymes and the antifungal secondary metabolite myxothiazole A, suggesting their micro-predation capabilities against phytopathogens.
