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

Lysinibacillus boronitolerans MSR1, a bacterium isolated from yogurt, was characterized through a detailed genomic and phylogenetic analysis. The strain demonstrated the ability to grow in MRS broth at pH 5-8 and exhibited positive activity in citrate utilization, catalase, oxidase, Methyl Red-Voges Proskauer (MR-VP), and Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) tests while being negative for amylase degradation and sulfide production. Whole-genome sequencing and Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) analysis revealed a close genetic relationship between MSR1 and previously reported L. boronitolerans strains, with ANI values ranging from 95.25% to 98.30%, particularly for L. boronitolerans strain NBRC103108. Phylogenetic analyses based on whole-genome and 16S rRNA sequences confirmed the taxonomic placement of MSR1 within the L. boronitolerans species. A circular genome comparison highlighted the presence of unique genomic regions in MSR1, notably around the 3500 kbp mark, indicating the acquisition of novel genes that may contribute to its distinct phenotypic traits. Antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed a high level of resistance in MSR1 to glycopeptides and aminoglycosides, while the strain remained susceptible to imipenem, with in silico analysis identifying key antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, including qacJ, vanW, vanT, and FosBx1, which confer resistance to disinfectants, vancomycin, and fosfomycin through efflux pumps and target modification mechanisms. Five distinct biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) regions were identified in the MSR1 genome, encoding genes for lanthipeptide-class-iii, RiPP-like, T3PKS, beta-lactone, terpene, and NRPS-like clusters. Pan-genome analysis suggested that L. boronitolerans possesses an open pan-genome, with a substantial proportion of accessory and unique genes. Functional annotation of core, accessory, and unique genes revealed that core genes are predominantly associated with metabolic processes, while accessory and unique genes are involved in information processing, storage, and defence mechanisms. These findings enhance our understanding of the genomic diversity, evolutionary dynamics, and potential adaptive strategies of L. boronitolerans MSR1, providing new insights into its ecological and functional roles.
