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

Marine biofouling remains a continuous problem in aquaculture and the maritime industry, which leads to the development of eco-sustainable antifouling agents. In the present study, ten marine bacteria were isolated from different marine habitats. These bacteria were subjected to bioassays for the production of secondary metabolites. The ethyl acetate extracts of these isolates were subjected to antibiofilm and antifouling studies against biofilm-producing Pseudomonas species. A combination of bioassays, including crystal violet staining for biofilm biomass estimation, phenol-sulphuric acid assay for extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) estimation, ATP bioluminescence assay for metabolic viability, and inhibition of bacteria and diatoms, was performed. Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) and Gas C hromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) studies revealed the presence of a variety of secondary metabolites in the extracts. The Rf value ranged from 0.46 to 0.74. The presence of phthalate derivatives, long-chain hydrocarbons, and aliphatic alcohols was detected by comparing the GC-MS library. Among the extracts, MB2 and MB23 were found to possess the highest antibiofilm activity by inhibiting 80-86% biofilm formation, with a range of 0.5-1.0 µg/mL. These extracts were found to possess moderate toxicity by Artemia salina bioassay (LC
