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

Background: To overcome antibiotic resistance, there is an interest in improving or discovering novel classes of antibiotics from microorganisms that have different mechanisms of action worldwide. In Ethiopia, no significant studies have been conducted to isolate antibiotic-producing bacteria from hotspot environments and evaluate their antagonistic activities against multidrug-resistant bacteria. Therefore, the present study aimed to isolate antibacterial-producing bacteria from wastes and evaluate their antagonistic activities against multidrug-resistant bacteria in Bahir Dar town. Methods: A total of 49 bacteria were isolated from 30 waste and soil samples and tested against multidrug-resistant bacteria by primary screening using the single line streak method. Crude extracts of promising isolates were produced using submerged state fermentation methods and tested against multidrug-resistant bacteria using agar well diffusion methods. The minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations of the crude extracts were determined using two-fold serial dilution and streak plate methods. Results: The results revealed that 11 (22.5%) bacterial isolates showed antibacterial activity against 1 or more tested multidrug-resistant bacteria. Isolates Ampb17 and Ampb33 isolated from soil and poultry waste showed the highest antagonistic activity against Conclusion: The results of the present study revealed that antibiotic-producing bacteria from waste and soil have vast potential sources of antibacterial compounds.
