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

Strain DSM 117947T was isolated from a Micromonospora matsumotoense co-culture originating from a water sample collected in Germany. The strain was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic analysis. It exhibited 99.3% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Nocardioides aurantiacus DSM 12652T. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between the strain and its close phylogenetic neighbour were below the threshold of 70% and 95-96% for prokaryotic species demarcation, respectively. The strain had a polar lipid profile composed of diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylmethylethanolamine (PME), phosphatidylinositol (PI), glycophospholipid (GPL), and phospholipids (PLs). The predominant menaquinone (>20%) was MK-8(H4). The major fatty acids (>5%) were C16.0, C16:1 ω7c, and C18:1 ω9c. The genomic G + C content of the strain is 73%. The chemotaxonomic, biochemical, enzymatic, and genomic features distinguished the strain from its close relative, and justify its assignment to a novel species, for which the name Nocardioides aquaegermanicae sp. nov., is proposed, with strain DSM 117947T (WG_orangeT = KCTC 59414T) as the type strain.
