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

objectivesFusicolla acetilerea is a saprophytic fungus in the family Nectriaceae (order Hypocreales). A strain, NIBRFGC000505922, was isolated from rhizosphere soil in South Korea and showed plastic-degrading activity against polycaprolactone and polylactic acid, indicating its potential for treating biodegradable plastic waste. However, genomic data for F. acetilerea are not yet available, which limits understanding of its biodegradation abilities. The objective of this study is to present the first draft genome sequence of F. acetilerea strain NIBRFGC000505922 to offer insights into its gene content, including carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), and potential plastic-degrading enzymes. DATA DESCRIPTION: We assembled the genome of F. acetilerea strain NIBRFGC000505922 using Illumina NovaSeq and PacBio Revio HiFi sequences. The genome sequence is 50.2 Mb across 12 scaffolds (N50: 5.2 Mb, GC: 47.6%). BUSCO analysis against Sordariomycetes_obd10 showed 97.9% completeness. We predicted 13,961 protein-coding genes and assigned functions to 10,824 of them. Among these, 466 are CAZyme and 36 are biosynthetic gene clusters; additionally, 12 candidate genes linked to plastic degradation were identified, supporting the strain’s potential for plastic breakdown. This genome resource offers a valuable foundation for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying fungal plastic degradation and exploring its applications in environmental biotechnology.
