High-throughput droplet screening of filamentous fungi on solid substrates.
Article in RSC chemical biology, 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
Droplet-based microfluidics has been frequently used for high-throughput single-cell microbial screening, where individual cells are encapsulated into nanoliter or picoliter-sized droplets and sorted based on measurable phenotypes such as fluorescent proteins or enzyme activity using fluorescence or absorbance-based substrates. However, using droplet microfluidics with filamentous fungi poses a unique challenge: fungal strains tend to escape from droplets as their hyphae grow, causing individual droplets to merge and eventually burst which prevents measuring individual phenotypes. In our work, we demonstrate a strategy to robustly encapsulate and retain spores of filamentous fungi within water-in-oil droplets by incorporating solid substrates into the droplet microenvironment. Using this approach, we show for the first time the encapsulation and growth of two model filamentous fungi species in droplets -
