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

Hot spring microbial mats may host diverse and thermally adapted fungal communities. This study investigated the environmental factors controlling the seasonal distribution of culturable fungi at the Hammam Meskhoutine hot spring. Culture-dependent morphological and molecular analysis identified three Ascomycota species: Aspergillus fumigatus (311 colonies), Mycothermus thermophilus (79 colonies), and Thermomyces lanuginosus (5 colonies). Significant density fluctuations were observed for A. fumigatus (p < 0.001), which peaked in spring (13 × 10
