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

This manuscript introduces a novel biosystem consisting of filamentous fungi and luminescent silicon nanoparticles (Si-NPs). The microorganisms were cultivated in a nutrient solution containing Si-NPs, acquiring a dense layer of abiotic material. The biohybrid entities were characterized using a combination of microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. Intriguingly, in addition to incorporating Si-NPs into the fungal cell wall, we observed the internalization of these nanoparticles within fungal organelles. Moreover, the apparent crystallite size of the Si-NPs within the fungal biohybrids was notably smaller than that of the synthesized Si-NPs, indicating that, under the cultivation and preparation conditions, microorganisms assimilate smaller Si-NPs more readily than larger ones. Consequently, nanoparticles smaller than 10 nm may permeate the cell wall and be concentrated in vacuoles, as observed by fluorescence microscopy.
