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

Premise: Traditional methods to quantify mycelial growth rely on destructive sampling to quantify biomass. Moreover, these approaches limit continuous observation and require a sufficient mass to measure. Recent work examines hyphal network traits by reconstructing the hyphal network from spatial coordinates via images, providing information about branching patterns and spatial growth over time. Methods and Results: We developed SkelPy, a Python-based graphical user interface that skeletonizes images of hyphal networks and extracts biologically relevant structural parameters such as fractal dimension, a proxy for the complexity and branching structure of the hyphal network. Using a high-throughput pipeline, we imaged three isolates of Conclusions: SkelPy enables efficient, non-destructive, and scalable quantification of hyphal growth and complexity from time-resolved image datasets, providing a powerful and user-friendly tool for studying fungal network dynamics.
