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

Recent extensive studies of the functional diversity of extremely halophilic archaea (haloarchaea) have significantly altered the long-held view of this unique group of extremophiles as halophilic heterotrophs utilizing either rich mixtures of amino acids or simple soluble monomeric compounds such as sugars or organic acids. Our recent efforts clearly demostrated that many haloarchaeal species possess significant hydrolytic potential for decomposition of various groups of difficult-to-degrade polysaccharides. However, so far, there was no evidence that these archaea can utilize acidic polysaccharides. In this study, we characterized three strains of haloarchaea isolated from brine and sediment samples from various regions of Eurasia, namely, hypersaline lakes of the Kulunda Steppe in Russia, marine solar salterns of Samouco in Portugal and Trapani in Italy, and salt production fields of Nha Trang and Cam Ranh in Vietnam, using hyaluronic acid (HA) as the sole carbon and energy source as an enrichment substrate. The isolates utilizing this glycosaminoglycan (GAG) were identified as new-species members of the genera
