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

Red yeasts serve as indispensable microbial resources for the production of carotenoids and lipids; however, environmental stress factors often limit their performance during industrial fermentation. The zinc-finger transcription factors Msn2/Msn4 act as central regulators of stress responses in yeasts. However, researchers have not yet systematically elucidated the similarities and differences in the mechanisms underlying the regulatory effects of Msn2/Msn4 under different stress conditions. In this study, we compared the shared and stress-specific regulatory functions of RkMsn4 in
