Serial Knockout Isolation Technique (SKIT): targeted isolation of multi-antagonist bacteria.
Article in MethodsX, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Traditional approaches to isolating antagonistic bacteria are non-targeted, yield lower recovery of potential multi-antagonists, and require substantial time, human resources, and lab resources. We advocate isolating siderophore-producing bacteria (SPB) or hydrolytic enzyme-producing bacteria (cellulase, protease, or chitinase) using the Serial Enrichment Incubation Technique (SEIT). Further, these recovered bacteria may be tested using the Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) test, which can easily identify Enterobacteriaceae and exclude probable human pathogens. Then, the Hydrocyanic (HCN) production assay may be performed, and prioritize both siderophore- and HCN-positive bacterial isolates in a dual assay against the predominant target phytopathogens first, then others. Here, non-siderophore and enterobacteriaceae members are serially eliminated or knocked out using the Serial Knockout Isolation Technique (SKIT). SKIT is proposed to reduce workflow time for isolating multi-antagonist bacteria, thereby saving time, labor, and lab resources.
