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

On the molecular and biochemical levels, the effects of different carbon sources on biomass production, fatty acid biosynthesis, and gene expression of three desaturases were investigated in Mortierella alpina ATCC 16266, at a stationary phase, which is an important filamentous fungus capable of producing various polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). The maximum mycelial biomass was achieved using sucrose as carbon source. However, the highest productivity of total lipids was shown to be no biomass associated. In addition, glucose was the preferred carbon source for the expression of three desaturase genes compared to others, but the change at the corresponding fatty acid product's level of these desaturase genes was not in accordance with the change measured at the mRNA level among those carbon sources that we utilized. Significant discrepancies between the mRNA expression and the product abundance may indicate post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of these desaturases.
