The fungus Aspergillus niger consumes sugars in a sequential manner that is not mediated by the carbon catabolite repressor CreA.

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
In nature, the fungus Aspergillus niger degrades plant biomass polysaccharides to monomeric sugars, transports them into its cells, and uses catabolic pathways to convert them into biochemical building blocks and energy. We show that when grown in liquid cultures, A. niger takes up plant-biomass derived sugars in a largely sequential manner. Interestingly, this sequential uptake was not mediated by the fungal general carbon catabolite repressor protein CreA. Furthermore, transcriptome analysis strongly indicated that the preferential use of the monomeric sugars is arranged at the level of transport, but it is not reflected in transcriptional regulation of sugar catabolism. Therefore, the results indicate that the regulation of sugar transport and catabolism are separate processes in A. niger.
