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

Mucor is a species-rich genus in Mucoraceae, predominantly saprotrophic in soil and dung. Some Mucor members can cause mucormycosis but also have valuable practical applications in kinds of industries such as the food and pharmaceutical industry. Mucor melanoleucus sp. nov. isolated from giant panda feces is described herein based on morphological characteristics, physiological experiments and phylogenetic analyses. Phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) - large subunit of ribosomal DNA (LSU rDNA) sequences demonstrates that this new species is closely allied to M. saturninus. However, morphological comparisons display it differs from M. saturninus by smaller sporangia, smaller columellae, larger sporangiospores, and absent zygospores. The finding of this new species enriches the diversity of early-diverging fungi, especially in animal dung.
