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
backgroundMarine fungi are an important repository of bioactive molecules with great potential in different technological fields, the annual number of new compounds isolated from marine fungi is impressive and the general trend indicates that it is still on the rise. In this context, the antifungal and antimicrobial activity of the marine strain Mariannaea humicola IG100 was evaluated and two active terpenoids were isolated and characterized.
methodsPreliminary screening of activity of marine strain IG100 was carried out by agar plug diffusion methods against fungal (Penicillium griseofulvum TSF04) and bacterial (Bacillus pumilus KB66 and Escherichia coli JM109) strains. Subsequently, inhibition tests were done by using the cultural broth and the organic extract (ethyl acetate, EtOAc) by the agar well diffusion methods. The main active fractions were identified and tested for their antifungal activity against P. griseofulvum TSF04 in a 24 wells microplate at different concentrations (1000, 100, 10 and 1.0 µg/mL). Two active compounds were characterized and their relative MIC measured by the broth micro-dilution methods in a 96-well microplate against Aspergillus flavus IG133, P. griseofulvum TSF04, and Trichoderma pleuroticola IG137.
resultsMarine strain IG100 presented significant antifungal activity associated with two active compounds, the terpenoids terperstacin 1 and 19-acetyl-4-hydroxydictyodiol 2. Their MIC values were measured for A. flavus (MIC of 7.9 µg/mL and 31.3 µg/mL for 1 and 2, respectively), P. griseofulvum (MIC of 25 µg/mL and 100 µg/mL for 1 and 2, respectively) and T. pleuroticola (MIC > 500 µg/mL and 125 µg/mL for 1 and 2, respectively). They showed a rather good fungistatic effect.
conclusionsIn this study, the first marine strain of M. humicola (IG100) was investigated for the production of bioactive molecules. Strain IG100 produced significant amounts of two bioactive terpenoids, terperstacin 1 and 19-acetyl-4-hydroxydictyodiol 2. The two compounds showed significant antifungal activities against A. flavus IG133, T. pleuroticola IG137 and P. griseofulvum TSF04. Compound 2 was identified for the first time in fungi.
