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

Marine invertebrates harbor diverse bacterial communities that contribute to host defense by producing antibacterial compounds. In this study, 258 cultivable bacterial isolates from corals (Porites panamensis, P. lobata), the sea urchin Echinometra vanbrunti, and the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi were screened against aquaculture and human pathogens. 14% (37 isolates) exhibited antibacterial activity, predominantly from E. vanbrunti and M. leidyi. Multiple assays revealed strong, broad-spectrum inhibition, particularly against aquaculture pathogens such as Listonella anguillarum, Photobacterium damselae, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, whereas human pathogens showed limited sensitivity. Notably, isolates MT26 and MT43 displayed the widest inhibitory spectra, and EV78 and MM7 demonstrated high inhibition rates in growth assays. Taxonomic analysis showed that Bacillus was the dominant genus (65%), followed by Vibrio and Pseudoalteromonas. These findings highlight marine invertebrate-associated bacteria as promising sources of bioactive compounds with potential applications in aquaculture and biotechnology.
