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

A new species of entomophthoroid fungus, Conidiobolus bimetaconidius sp. nov., is described from plant debris collected in Xishuangbanna Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. This species is morphologically distinguished by its distinctive production of two secondary conidia arising directly from primary conidia, large primary conidia (34.0-58.0 × 24.0-45.0 μm), relatively large microconidia (11.0-25.0 × 16.0-29.0 μm), and smooth, globose zygospores (21.0-37.0 μm in diameter). Phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA (nucLSU), mitochondrial small subunit ribosomal DNA (mtSSU), and elongation factor-like gene (EFL) sequences confirm the placement of C. bimetaconidius within the genus Conidiobolus sensu stricto, where it forms a well-supported clade sister to C. bifurcatus. Morphologically, C. bimetaconidius differs from phylogenetically related species by its larger primary conidia and microconidia compared to C. bifurcatus, and by its unique pattern of secondary conidium production compared to other species with similar conidial dimensions. This discovery brings the total number of known Conidiobolus s.s. species to 27 and represents the tenth species of this genus reported from China.
