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

Endophytic fungi are prolific sources of bioactive natural products, but many biosynthetic gene clusters remain silent under laboratory conditions. Following the OSMAC approach, the epigenetic modifiers nicotinamide and sodium butyrate (10 µM) were added to triplicate liquid cultures of Curvularia sp. G6-32, an endophyte of Sapindus saponaria, and the crude extracts were analyzed by UHPLC-MS/MS with Mzmine 3 processing and GNPS molecular networking. In total, 712 features were detected: 474 common to all treatments, 65 exclusive to the control, and 154 occurring only in the presence of the modifiers (7 nicotinamide, 9 sodium butyrate, 138 both). PCA, ANOVA (p < 0.05) and volcano analysis (Student's t-test, p < 0.05, n = 3) separated the treated cultures from the control. Among 34 putatively identified compounds, diketopiperazines were the most abundant family (15 ionic species), whereas loliolide, γ-linolenic acid and N-(3-hydroxytetradecanoyl)-DL-homoserine lactone illustrate the diversification elicited by both modifiers.
