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

The growing demand for efficient and cost-effective industrial proteases has intensified bioprospecting efforts in diverse ecosystems as a strategy to identify microorganisms with enhanced enzymatic performance. This study aimed to isolate, identify, and evaluate aerobic protease-producing bacteria from animal-protein matrices and water sources collected across the three continental regions of Ecuador, and to assess their suitability for industrial enzyme production A total of 34 bacterial strains were isolated and taxonomically assigned to the orders Enterobacterales, Pseudomonadales, and Bacillales. Proteolytic activity was evaluated using azocasein and casein assays after cultivation in an optimized medium containing 1% soybean paste as an inducer at 37 °C and 120 rpm for 72 h.
