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

Background and Aim: The gastrointestinal health of Asian elephants ( Materials and Methods: Fresh fecal samples were collected from 25 clinically healthy captive Asian elephants housed at four elephant camps in Krabi Province, Thailand. LAB were isolated using de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe agar and subjected to preliminary phenotypic and biochemical characterization. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated against five pathogenic indicator bacteria using the disk diffusion method. Probiotic functional properties were assessed through acid tolerance (pH 3.0), bile salt tolerance (1%), cell surface hydrophobicity, and autoaggregation assays. Safety evaluation included hemolytic activity and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Molecular identification of selected isolates was performed using Results: A total of 195 LAB isolates were recovered, of which 52 exhibited antimicrobial activity against all tested pathogens. Eleven isolates demonstrated superior probiotic attributes, with acid and bile salt survival rates ranging from 74.67%-91.67% and 75.17%-98.15%, respectively. These isolates showed strong antimicrobial activity (inhibition zones 12-15 mm), high cell surface hydrophobicity (74.03%-92.24%), and substantial autoaggregation capacity (70.60%-85.74%). All selected isolates were non-hemolytic and susceptible to clinically relevant antibiotics. Molecular analysis identified seven isolates as Conclusion: This study provides the first molecularly validated and comprehensive
