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 are a cornerstone in the biotechnological production of enzymes, proteins, and organic acids. However, challenges in understanding and controlling the relationship between morphology and productivity can limit their application. This study addresses these challenges using Thermothelomyces thermophilus, a promising thermophilic fungus known for the production of thermostable enzymes. We investigated the effects of environmental conditions on fungal morphology and enzyme production using a combination of microbioreactor cultivation, automated liquid handling, and automated microscopy. Specifically, batch and fed batch cultivations were performed at different pH levels and glucose feeding rates to study their effects on secretory phytase production, fungal growth, and morphology. Results from batch cultivations revealed a two-fold higher phytase activity at pH 5.5 compared to pH 6.5, with notably smaller fungal fragments at the end of cultivation. Conversely, fed batch cultivations at a feeding rate of 1 g (l h)
