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 study aimed to evaluate L-asparaginase (L-ASNase) production by fungi isolated from soils across different Antarctic islands. Out of 138 isolates, 33 filamentous fungi and 5 yeasts exhibited enzymatic activity in solid culture media. Filamentous fungi were identified by sequencing the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region, while yeasts were identified using the D1/D2 domains of the 26 S rDNA gene. The blue filamentous fungus Antarctomyces F13.CR.LASP exhibited a maximum L-ASNase productivity of 0.76 U/L. Regarding the yeasts, the isolate Vishniacozyma victoriae G.L11 reached a productivity of 0.17 U/L, while corresponding values for glutaminase and urease were 0.11 and 0.06 U/L, respectively. Furthermore, V. victoriae G.L11 was capable of producing the enzyme using different low-cost substrates, particularly pineapple peel waste, which yielded 5.17 U/L. In this scenario, future optimization could further enhance L-asparaginase production levels by these fungi, providing valuable insights into the biotechnological potential of Antarctic fungi.
