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

Six terrestrial hysteriaceous fungi were collected from litter in dry-hot valleys, China, all exhibiting the typical morphological characteristics of the genus Rhytidhysteron. Detailed morphological examimation combined with RAxML phylogenetic analysis of combined LSU, SSU, ITS, and tef-1α loci revealed that the specimens represent one new species Rhytidhysteron savanniense sp. nov. and two new geographical records R. hongheense and R. tectonae. Comprehensive descriptions, illustrations, and a phylogenetic tree are provided to clarify the taxonomic placement of these taxa. As a preliminary observation, lignocellulose-related enzymes screening was conducted to explore potential ecological roles of Rhytidhysteron. The results indicated variation in cellulase production capacity among species, with Rhytidhysteron savanniense exhibiting the highest cellulase activity under laboratory conditions. These findings highlight the taxonomic diversity of Rhytidhysteron in dry-hot valley ecosystems and suggest possible functional capapcites that warrant further ecological investigation.
