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

In the present work, the marine bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus Mo245 demonstrated the ability to secrete an extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) concomitant with the intracellular accumulation of a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). Upon cultivation in glycerol as the sole carbon source, V. alginolyticus Mo245 co-produced a glycosaminoglycan (GAG), named EPS-Mo245, and the homopolymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P3HB), attaining maximum concentrations of 1.29±0.01 g/L and 1.78±0.00 g/L, respectively, within a 24 h cultivation. EPS-Mo245 was a hyaluronic acid (HA)-like GAG, composed of glucuronic acid (40.5±2.2 mol%), galactosamine (29.8±0.2 mol%), and glucosamine (21.1±0.6 mol%). It presented an average molecular weight (Mw) of 1945±67 kDa, with a polydispersity index (PDI) of 1.29±0.02, and a thermal degradation temperature of 235 °C. The produced P3HB had a Mw of 110±0.00 KDa and a PDI of 1.70±0.08, characterized by melting and thermal degradation temperatures of 175 °C and 293 °C, respectively, within the range of values reported for P3HB. These findings demonstrate V. alginolyticus Mo245 as a promising producer of both biopolymers, suitable for the valorization of glycerol, showcasing a sustainable route to yield two valuable biobased materials, an HA-like polysaccharide and P3HB, with potential for use in several applications.
