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

Human colostrum is rich in a variety of nutrients and beneficial bacteria known to benefit host health. Whole genome sequencing was performed to explore the probiotic potential of six bacterial strains isolated from human colostrum, i.e., Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Micrococcus luteus, Micrococcus lylae, Staphylococcus warneri, and Bacillus altitudinis. The genome was completely annotated and characterized by various bioinformatics tools and databases, including RAST, eggNOG, KEGG, CAZy, antiSMASH, and BAGEL. The analysis showed the existence of essential probiotic-associated genes involved in adhesion, resistance to osmotic stress, synthesis of exopolysaccharide (EPS), tolerance to acid and bile, and synthesis of antibacterial drugs. Moreover, the genomes revealed the functional capacity of these isolates, encoding various stress response genes, protective elements, bacteriocins, and secondary metabolites. These results confirm the potential of human colostrum bacteria as promising probiotic agents.
