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

Oleaginous fungi, as a vital part of the microbiota in naturally diverse ecosystems, represent a reservoir for biomass-based lipid production. The challenge is the selection of promising strains with cost-effective operation for multiple applications. In the current study, 12 fungal strains were isolated and screened for their oleaginicity. All strains were fermented and accumulated over 20% lipids in their cell dry weight (CDW). After the preliminary screening, one strain was genetically identified as Gongronella butleri HMA-10 due to its maximum biomass (15.8 ± 0.8 g/L) and lipid (40.6 ± 1.7%) yields. Moreover, the HMA-10 was subjected to optimization of various parameters with the help of response surface methodology (RSM) for maximum lipid accumulation. The selected strain was fermented on fructose associated with a combination of sodium nitrite and yeast extract, exhibiting optimum nutritional conditions with a C/N ratio of (40:1). Cultivation conditions (4 days, 27.5 ℃, and pH of 7.0) resulted in the highest CDW and lipid content. Scaling up of HMA-10 in bioreactor fermentation under optimized conditions significantly induced biomass and lipid content (19.5 g/L and 53%), compared with shake flask fermentation (15.8 ± 0.8 g/L and 40.6 ± 1.7%), respectively. Fatty acid (FA) profile was confirmed by gas chromatography (GC) analysis, and the results revealed that oleic acid (OA) was the predominant (46.91%), while palmitic acid (PA), linoleic acid (LA), and γ-linolenic acid (GLA) were found in significant quantities (21.13, 9.67, and 8.06%), respectively. This study employed for the first time G. butleri HMA-10 as a promising candidate for high lipid accumulation with a potential second-generation biodiesel production in large-scale industrialization.
