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

Introduction: Spontaneous wine fermentation is driven by the ecological succession of vineyard-derived microorganisms, yet little is known about how this process unfolds in Picolit, a grape variety characterized by acinellatura (berry millerandage) and elevated sugar concentration. This study aimed to characterize the microbial and metabolic dynamics of spontaneous Picolit fermentation and to identify the ecological and functional transitions occurring throughout the process. Methods: An integrated multi-omic approach combining shotgun metagenomics and untargeted metabolomics was applied to spontaneous fermentations of Picolit grapes produced at Aquila del Torre, an organic and biodynamic winery located in Savorgnano del Torre (Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy), within the newly established "Friuli Colli Orientali Sottozona Savorgnano D.O.C." Five fermentation stages were sampled and analyzed to investigate microbial succession, functional pathways and metabolomic changes. Results: The initial must displayed high microbial richness dominated by non- Discussion: These findings demonstrate that spontaneous Picolit fermentation follows a distinctive ecological trajectory shaped by grape physiology, terroir and native microbial diversity.
