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

Filamentous fungi grow through elongation of their apical region by exocytosis and secrete enzymes that can be of commercial or industrial importance. Their hyphae exhibit extensive branching, making it difficult to control hyphal growth for observation and analysis. Therefore, although hyphal morphology and productivity are closely related, the relationship between the two has not yet been clarified. Conventional morphology and productivity studies have only compared the results of macro imaging of fungal pellets cultured in bulk with the averaged products in the culture medium. Filamentous fungi are multicellular and their expression differs between different hyphae. To truly understand the relationship between morphology and productivity, it is necessary to compare the morphology and productivity of individual hyphae. To achieve this, we developed a microfluidic system that confines hyphae to individual channels for observation and investigated the relationship between their growth, morphology, and enzyme productivity. Furthermore, using
