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

Extremophiles are of significant scientific interest due to their unique adaptation to harsh environmental conditions and their potential for diverse biotechnological applications. Among these extremophiles, filamentous fungi adapted to high-salt environments represent a new and valuable source of enzymes, biomolecules, and biomaterials. While most studies on halophiles have focused on bacteria, reports on filamentous fungi remain limited. This review compiles information about salt-adapted fungi and details their distribution, adaptation mechanisms, and potential applications in various societal areas. Understanding the adaptive mechanisms of halophilic fungi not only sheds light on the biology of extremophilic fungi but also leads to promising biotechnological applications, including the development of salt-tolerant enzymes and strategies for bioremediation of saline habitats. To fully realize this potential, a comprehensive understanding of their ecology, diversity and physiology is crucial. In addition, understanding their survival mechanisms in saline environments is important for the development of astrobiology. The significant potential of applications of halophilic fungi is highlighted.
