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, the isolation and identification of pigment-producing fungi from substrate samples collected in the Sonoran Desert, Mexico, are described. Three fungal isolates, named CR2, SM1, and GBS, were selected for their ability to produce colored pigments. The redox properties of these pigments were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The GBS pigment, produced by the fungus Forliomyces uniseptata, exhibited the best electrochemical behavior, with a reversible redox cycle, indicating its potential as a redox mediator (RM) for microbial fuel cells (MFCs). The effect of different light wavelengths on the growth kinetics of F. uniseptata and pigment production was evaluated. Blue light moderately accelerated pigment biosynthesis, while darkness promoted fungal growth. Finally, the GBS pigment was tested as a RM in a MFC inoculated with Bacillus subtilis. A maximum power density of 37 μW/cm
