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

Introduction: Materials and Methods: The Design of Experiment method was employed to optimize pyocyanin production by the cultures exposed to different types of EMFs alone or in combination with MWCNTs. This allowed for identifying the setup with the highest improvement in pyocyanin production. In this setup, additional assays, including conductivity, magnetic induction, ROS level, and membrane potential measurements, were performed. The antibacterial properties of the purified pigment were also assessed. Results and Discussion: The rotating magnetic field (RMF) combined with MWCNT was identified as the most effective setup for pyocyanin production (production improved by 143% compared to the control), which can be further enhanced by aeration. Significant changes in conductivity, magnetic induction, membrane potential, and ROS levels were observed. The purified pigment exhibited strong antibacterial properties, particularly against Conclusion: This research proposes a novel approach to bioprocessing, where the production of the desired metabolite can be stimulated through a combination of stressors.
