In Situ Imaging for Monitoring Biomass Content and Pellet Size in Submerged Filamentous Stirred-Tank Cultivation.
Article in Biotechnology journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Filamentous microorganisms play a central role in industrial biotechnology, where pellet morphology affects mass transfer, rheology, and process performance. However, time-resolved monitoring of filamentous biomass and pellet size dynamics in stirred-tank reactors remains challenging due to offline sampling limitations. We present a noninvasive in situ imaging approach to observe biomass-related light scattering and projected pellet size. A custom-built camera and ring-light setup with MATLAB-based image acquisition and processing was used to quantify image luminosity as a proxy for biomass content and to determine projected object area (POA) and the number of detected objects per image above a POA threshold of 0.5 mm
