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

Mold contamination in library and museum collections poses risks to both cultural heritage and human health. This study examined fungal flora on books stored under controlled environmental conditions (temperature <20 °C, relative humidity <50%) in The University Museum, The University of Tokyo. Both culture-dependent methods and DNA-based metabarcoding targeting the internal transcribed spacer 2 region were used. DNA analysis revealed that
