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

Wheat grain serves as the primary raw material for producing medium-high temperature (MT)-Daqu, a fermentation starter crucial for Chinese Baijiu production, characterized by spontaneous fermentation without the inoculation of exogenous substances. However, the interactions among wheat varieties, cultivation environments, and the resulting Daqu quality remain poorly understood. This study evaluates three wheat varieties harvested from three distinct cultivation environments, examining wheat grain quality, grain-associated endophytes, and physicochemical properties and microbial communities of MT-Daqu at 0, 9, and 90 days of fermentation. The results revealed the cultivation environment had the most pronounced impact on wheat fungal endophytes. The physicochemical properties of Daqu were primarily impacted by variety, namely, the enzyme activity impacted by environmental factors.
