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

The global oversupply of crude glycerol, a byproduct of biodiesel production, needs innovative strategies for its sustainable utilization. In this study we isolated and characterized oleaginous yeast strains from fruit surfaces in the Brazilian Cerrado biome, a biodiversity hotspot, to assess their potential for converting crude glycerol into microbial lipids suitable for biodiesel. From 150 fruits, 45 yeast strains were isolated, with six identified as oleaginous (intracellular lipids > 20% dry biomass). Molecular identification via ITS and D1/D2 sequencing analysis revealed affiliations with Rhodotorula toruloides and Pseudozyma species (P. hubeiensis, P. flocculosa, P. rugulosa). Lipid profiling showed predominant fatty acids (palmitic, oleic) aligning with biodiesel standards. Biodiesel properties derived from yeast lipids, including cetane number (58-62), viscosity (3.8-4.2 mm
