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

Unlike the well-known acute or chronic animal and plant RNA viruses, most fungal RNA viruses (RNA mycoviruses) have a persistent life cycle. They lack an extracellular infection route and coexist with their hosts for a lifetime. RNA mycoviruses affect various biological properties of host fungi and are widespread across all major fungal groups. The frequency of fungal isolates harboring RNA mycoviruses ranges from a few percent to several tens of percent, indicating their high persistence within ecosystems. However, the dynamics of RNA mycoviruses and the maintenance mechanisms within host populations remain largely unknown. Here, we developed an experimental laboratory model system to examine the dynamics of mycoviruses within clonal host populations and to clarify the mechanisms. In our experimental system, we used two mycoviruses infecting
