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

Previous work (V. K. Juneja, M. Osoria, E. G. Altuntas, N. K. Taneja, et al., Food Res Int 177:113904, 2024, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113904) showed that less well-purified spores of IMPORTANCE: Spores of many Bacillota give rise to cells and spores, some of which cause food spoilage, food poisoning, and serious human disease. Consequently, there is applied interest in spore killing, something that is difficult because of spores' resistance to killing regimens including by wet heat, radiation, and toxic chemicals and the many causes of this extreme resistance. The current work shows that for spores of two Bacillus species made on plates or in liquid, spore purity plays no role in the ability of spores to germinate or their resistance to agents other than wet heat. However, the least purified
