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

Spent mushroom substrate (SMS), the residual material left after mushroom cultivation, represents an abundant yet underutilized bioresource. With global mushroom production generating millions of tons of SMS annually, its disposal constitutes a missed opportunity within the circular bioeconomy. This Opinion article highlights why SMS should be repositioned as a valuable raw material for sustainable biorefineries and outlines the technological, economic, and regulatory steps needed to unlock its potential.
