Propagation of electrical spike trains in substrates colonised by oyster fungi.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
We investigate electrical signalling in substrates colonised by oyster fungi using long-term, multi-channel electrophysiological recordings. Electrical activity was recorded continuously for approximately fifteen days using a linear array of eight differential electrode channels sampled at 1 Hz. Slow electrical spikes with durations from tens of seconds to tens of minutes and millivolt-scale amplitudes were identified, and spike trains exhibited highly variable inter-spike intervals on time scales of minutes to hours. Analysis of temporal relationships between channels reveals directional propagation of electrical activity along the electrode array, with delay distributions between adjacent channels showing pronounced positive peaks and a monotonic lead-lag ordering across channels. Median delays of approximately 180 s between channels separated by approximately 2 cm correspond to an estimated propagation speed of about 0.7 cm/min (approximately 40 cm/h). Control analyses using temporally shuffled spike trains indicated its biological origin. These results demonstrate that electrical activity in oyster fungi propagates through the mycelial network as slow travelling signals consistent with ionic wave dynamics.
