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

Contamination of agricultural crops by aflatoxin, a potent carcinogenic fungal toxin, is a global issue that poses serious health risks to humans and livestock while inflicting significant economic damage on the agricultural sector. Specific inhibitors of aflatoxin production hold promise not only as effective agents for controlling aflatoxin contamination, but also as valuable tools for uncovering the regulatory mechanisms of secondary metabolism through the elucidation of their modes of action. Unexpectedly, inhibitors whose modes of action we have clarified were found to target mitochondrial components, rather than proteins directly involved in the aflatoxin biosynthetic pathway. In this article, we review inhibitors and inhibitory mixtures that act on mitochondria and explore the relationship between mitochondrial function and aflatoxin production through their modes of action.
