Non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma promotes cellulase production in Neurospora crassa.
Article in Bioresources and bioprocessing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Microorganisms, particularly filamentous fungi, have become the dominant platforms for industrial enzyme production due to their rapid growth, low cost, and adaptability. However, current production technologies face limitations in yield and cost-efficiency, prompting the need for innovative enhancement strategies. Non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma has emerged as a promising tool for stimulating microbial enzyme production. In this study, we have employed micro-surface dielectric barrier discharge (MS-DBD) plasma, which operates in a completely different manner from jet plasma, and evaluated its potential for enhancing the production of cellulolytic enzymes in Neurospora crassa. The extracellular activity of cellulases increased (maximum 10.41 ± 3.44% increase) after MS-DBD plasma treatment. The transcription levels of the four cellulase genes were significantly elevated (highest in the 120 s treatment). The fungal hyphal membrane was depolarized and chemically altered after plasma treatment. The levels of intracellular Ca
