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

During their reproduction cycles, the omnipresent pathogens produce a broad class of mycotoxins responsible for serious health problems in living organisms. To reduce (or even to eradicate) the microorganisms from the invaded system, various conventional methods are applied in practice, sometimes with counterproductive effects. To overcome these challenges, the cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is applied to terminate mold proliferation within the system. The paper presents a mathematical model for the elimination of microscopic filamentous types of fungi, specifically molds, by using the CAP. The evolution of mold population is described by a nonlinear logistic equation with a density-dependent inactivation rate. Exactly calculated growth curves are compared with experimental data for IMPORTANCE: The novelty of this study is to model the extinction process of molds from an invaded system by using a nonlinear logistic equation with a density-dependent inactivation rate. The resulting analytical solution allows us to determine the coverage of the surface by mycelium at arbitrary times. The calculated growth curves are compared with data sets for
