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

Global markets, including the pigments sector, have been significantly influenced by the adoption of novel circular bioeconomy policies and increasing concerns about sustainable practices. The natural pigments market is expected to grow considerably due to policies promoting renewable resources and reducing environmental impact. Natural pigments, particularly fungi-derived ones, are increasingly favored for their biodegradability, non-toxicity, and additional biological properties, offering a safer alternative to synthetic dyes. This shift is particularly notable in the textile industry, where concerns over synthetic dyes' environmental and health impacts have prompted the search for sustainable coloring solutions. This work demonstrates the suitability of agro-industrial byproducts, namely cheese whey and corn steep liquor, as alternative culture medium components for producing natural pigments by
