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

In this work, pure mycelium materials (PMMs) were produced by cultivating fungi Trametes versicolor and Irpex lacteus on lignocellulose-rich agricultural processing water. This water was a side stream from the alkali treatment of purposely grown biomass (miscanthus) for cellulose fiber extraction and contained lignocellulosic residues. Agri-processing water yielded ~75-mg/L PMMs with superior mechano-physical properties than synthetic medium-based ones. These properties were further enhanced by PMM post-processing with glycerol. The thermal stability of PMMs was demonstrated by their higher melting temperature than low density polyethylene (LDPE) while their degradation between 200-380°C, and density of <1.0 g/cm
