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

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin found in several agricultural commodities. Produced by Aspergillus spp., it is nephrotoxic and hepatotoxic and can be carcinogenic. Preventive measures are preventing fungal growth and OTA production. In this study, fungal strains (Rhizopus oryzae, Lichtheimia ramosa, Aspergillus westerdijkiae, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus tamarii, Aspergillus sp., and Aspergillus fumigatus) isolated from coffee beans were identified for their abilities to inhibit the growth of Aspergillus ochraceus, Aspergillus westerdijkiae, Aspergillus carbonarius, and Aspergillus niger, and OTA production. All fungi strains tested were able to inhibit growth of the four Aspergillus species and OTA production, where A. niger showed the best results in both tests. L. ramosa showed the lowest growth-reducing potential, while the other fungal strains had a growth-reducing potential higher than 70% against all Aspergillus species tested. Regarding OTA production, L. ramosa and Aspergillus sp. completely inhibited the mycotoxin production by A. ochraceus and non-toxigenic strain A. niger completely inhibited OTA production by A. niger. Our findings indicate that the strains tested can be used as an alternative means to control growth of OTA-producing fungi and production of the mycotoxin in coffee beans.
