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

Biosurfactants produced by halophilic bacteria are gaining attention as eco-friendly and biocompatible alternatives to synthetic surfactants due to their high surface activity, stability under extreme conditions, and intrinsic antimicrobial properties. These amphiphilic biomolecules hold great promise for bioremediation, biomedical, and pharmaceutical applications. In this study, moderately halophilic bacteria capable of biosurfactant production were isolated from saline mud collected at the Burgas solar salterns (Bulgaria). The halophilic microbiota was enriched in Bushnell-Haas (BH) medium containing 10% NaCl amended with different carbon sources. Primary screening in BH liquid medium evaluated the isolates' ability to degrade n-hexadecane while at the same time producing biosurfactants. Thirty halophilic bacterial strains were isolated on BH agar plates supplemented with 2% n-hexadecane, 2% olive oil, or 2% glycerol. Four isolates-BS7OL, BS8OL, BS9GL, and BS10HD-with strong emulsifying activity (E
