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

Understanding biological sources of methane is critical for elucidating the global methane cycle and addressing climate change. While traditional research has predominantly focused on prokaryotic methanogens, emerging evidence suggests that eukaryotes, particularly fungi, can produce methane through both enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways. However, no eukaryotic organism has been documented to possess both pathways simultaneously. Here, we provide preliminary evidence suggesting that the wood-decaying fungus
