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

Endosymbiotic bacteria have been reported in mucoralean fungi, yet their taxonomic distribution, range of ecological niches, and host specificity remain incompletely understood. Clarifying the occurrence of these bacterial partners across clinical and environmental Mucorales is essential for understanding their evolutionary and biological significance. In this study, we screened 578 isolates of Mucorales from both clinical and fermented food sources, including 360 from mucormycosis patients in The Netherlands, 40 from COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM) patients in India, and 178 foodborne isolates from fermented soybean foods in China. Although 16S rRNA gene amplification revealed the presence of bacteria in sixteen mucoralean isolates, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) demonstrated intracellular localization in only five of them. In all five cases, the endobacteria were identified as
