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
Shouchella clausii MJ1G0B (GenBank: MW308498.1), a halotolerant bacterium isolated from Madura salt ponds, East Java, Indonesia, was characterized through integrated phenotypic, molecular, pigment, spectroscopic, and bioactivity analyses. The Gram-positive isolate grew at 0-15% NaCl (optimum 0% NaCl), with distinct temporal windows for carotenoid accumulation (84 h) and antibacterial secondary metabolite production (120 h). 16S rRNA sequencing (1,418 bp) confirmed 99.42% identity with S. clausii and 99.27% with S. rhizosphaerae. The dominant yellow-orange xanthophyll (Spot 3; Rf 0.98), purified by preparative two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography (TLC), showed UV-Vis absorption in the UV region (λmax 210, 245, and 325 nm) deviating from the expected visible-range absorption (400-550 nm) of xanthophyll carotenoids, possibly due to a cis-configured or structurally disrupted polyene system. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy revealed O-H, aliphatic C-H, and C = C groups; liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) detected [M + H]⁺ at m/z 413 (C₂₈H₄₄O₂, MW 412 g/mol), supporting identification as a Valenciaxanthin-like xanthophyll. Antioxidant activity improved after purification (IC₅₀ 999 ppm) relative to crude extracts (1,101-1,557 ppm). The secondary metabolite extract exhibited moderate antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (IC₅₀ 0.689 mg/mL) and Escherichia coli (IC₅₀ 0.789 mg/mL). To our knowledge, this is the first report of a Valenciaxanthin-like pigment from a bacterial source in an Indonesian hypersaline ecosystem.
