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

This study investigated thermophilic bacterial communities from two Algerian hot springs: Hammam Debagh (94-98 °C), recognized as the second hottest spring in the world, and Hammam Bouhadjar (61-72 °C), one of the hottest in northwest Algeria. Thirty isolates were obtained, able to grow between 45 °C and 80 °C, tolerating pH 5.0-12.0 and NaCl concentrations up to 3%. Colonies displayed diverse morphologies, from circular and smooth to star-shaped and Saturn-like forms. All isolates were characterized as Gram-positive, catalase-positive rods or filamentous bacteria. Identification by MALDI-TOF, rep-PCR and 16S rRNA sequencing classified them mainly within
