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

Cainiaceae (Xylariales, Sordariomycetes) includes fungi primarily associated with hosts of the Poaceae and Arecaceae families. Recent studies have advanced the taxonomy of this family, highlighting its ecological and morphological diversity. Investigations focusing on microfungi associated with bamboo and other grass hosts in biodiversity-rich regions, such as Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces in China, have notably increased, driven by a growing recognition of their ecological and taxonomic importance. Fungal sampling was conducted on bamboo and related Poaceae hosts across various locations in Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces. Morphological characteristics were observed and recorded. Multilocus phylogenetic analyses, using the ITS and LSU regions, were conducted to determine phylogenetic relationships and confirm taxonomic placements. We introduce two new species and document one previously known species of
