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

Fungi are important chassis organisms for sustainable biomanufacturing owing to their strong secretion capacity, metabolic diversity, and adaptability to industrial processes. Driven by the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), computational approaches that enable machines to learn patterns from data and make predictions, together with omics technologies and synthetic biology, data- and model-driven strategies are increasingly reshaping fungal cell factory design and optimization. This review summarizes recent advances in AI-enabled fungal biomanufacturing, covering AI-assisted genome mining, enzyme and pathway analysis, genome editing, metabolic network modeling, and intelligent fermentation control. The review further highlights the emerging concept of the artificial intelligence virtual cell (AIVC), which integrates multi-omics data, mechanistic modeling, and machine learning-based approaches into a unified multiscale framework for simulating dynamic cellular behaviors. The technical foundations and potential applications of AIVC in fungal metabolic engineering, drug discovery, agriculture, and environmental biotechnology are reviewed. Finally, key challenges-data quality and standardization, cross-scale model integration and interpretability, and the gap between
