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

Microbial metabolism plays a significant role in seafood spoilage, with quorum sensing (QS) systems potentially influencing bacterial spoilage abilities. In this study, we conducted genome sequencing of Morganella psychrotolerans GWT 901, which was isolated from spoiled yellowfin tuna. Genes related to QS and spoilage, including those involved in biogenic amines production, lipase and protease secretion, sulfur metabolism, and stress responses were identified. Furthermore, we observed the presence of AI-2 signal molecules and found that the LuxS/AI-2 QS system regulates the spoilage potential of M. psychrotolerans GWT 901 by monitoring the changes of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) levels, biogenic amine concentrations, and the expression of spoilage-related genes. This study provides novel insights into the role of QS in bacterial spoilage, offering potential avenues for the development of novel strategies to control seafood spoilage through QS target.
