Morphological response of the halophilic fungal genus Wallemia to high salinity.

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.
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
The basidiomycetous genus Wallemia is an active inhabitant of hypersaline environments, and it has recently been described as comprising three halophilic and xerophilic species: Wallemia ichthyophaga, Wallemia muriae, and Wallemia sebi. Considering the important protective role the fungal cell wall has under fluctuating physicochemical environments, this study was focused on cell morphology changes, with particular emphasis on the structure of the cell wall, when these fungi were grown in media with low and high salinities. We compared the influence of salinity on the morphological characteristics of Wallemia spp. by light, transmission, and focused-ion-beam/scanning electron microscopy. W. ichthyophaga was the only species of this genus that was metabolically active at saturated NaCl concentrations. W. ichthyophaga grew in multicellular clumps and adapted to the high salinity with a significant increase in cell wall thickness. The other two species, W. muriae and W. sebi, also demonstrated adaptive responses to the high NaCl concentration, showing in particular an increased size of mycelial pellets at the high salinities, with an increase in cell wall thickness that was less pronounced. The comparison of all three of the Wallemia spp. supports previous findings relating to the extremely halophilic character of the phylogenetically distant W. ichthyophaga and demonstrates that, through morphological adaptations, the eukaryotic Wallemia spp. are representative of eukaryotic organisms that have successfully adapted to life in extremely saline environments.
