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

This study explores the chemical ecology of the halophytic plant Salicornia brachiata and its associated Bacillus endophytes using LC-MS-based metabolomics. A total of 43 Bacillus strains were isolated and screened for the production of bioactive lipopeptides, with 26 strains showing both lipopeptide production and antimicrobial activity, particularly against Mycobacterium smegmatis MTCC6. Fermentation of a potent endophyte, Bacillus subtilis NPRoot-3, yielded purified surfactins and fengycins, which displayed significant inhibitory activity with low IC
