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

Controlling fungal growth on building materials is essential for preserving indoor air quality and structural integrity. This study aims to (i) adapt the Myco-surface growth model for Fusarium solani colonization on plasterboard and wood fiberboard, and (ii) evaluate the antifungal efficacy of non-thermal plasma (NTP) treatments on these substrates. Fungal growth was monitored over a temperature range of 5–40 °C and modeled using the sigmoid-based Myco-surface model. Two NTP sources, a high-power diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge (DCSBD) and a low-power negative corona discharge, were applied at various stages of fungal development. The Myco-surface model successfully captured the growth dynamics on both materials, with plasterboard supporting faster colonization than fiberboard. NTP treatments significantly inhibited fungal growth: the DCSBD source achieved complete inhibition on fiberboard, while the corona discharge had partial efficacy. These findings confirm the predictive capability of the Myco-surface model on complex building substrates and highlight NTP as a promising, non-destructive technology for fungal control in construction materials.
