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

Submarines and spacecraft share several features that may promote the presence of fungi, including recirculated ventilation systems, moist areas, and close-quarters living. In this article, we introduce the idea of "submarine mycology" and explore how research on submarine fungi can inform the emerging field of astromycology. We highlight parallels in the fungal species present in both environments, while also noting key differences such as radiation exposure and microgravity. Arguing that submarines offer valuable lessons for spaceflight, we advocate for renewed research using modern genetic tools to characterize submarine fungi.
