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

Microorganisms form complex ecological networks of interactions, with secondary metabolites (SMs) playing a crucial role in microbial communication. This study explored the cocultivation of marine fungi IMPORTANCE: Marine fungi are an important source of natural products, and many marine-derived secondary metabolites have been found to exhibit significant bioactivities, including antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer properties. Cocultivation is a simple and effective method for discovering bioactive compounds. However, whether marine-derived and terrestrial-derived microorganisms exhibit differential response mechanisms under co-culture conditions remains unexplored. Our study details how cocultivation of marine fungi triggers the activation of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) and leads to an increase in active secondary metabolites (SMs), which may contribute to the future development of antibiotics or anticancer drugs. Furthermore, our findings reveal that reactive oxygen species (ROS) function as specific signaling molecules in marine fungal-fungal interactions, offering novel insights into the evolutionary strategies of fungi in marine ecosystems.
