New insights from molecular phylogenetics of amoebophagous fungi (Zoopagomycota, Zoopagales).
Article in Parasitology research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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
Amoebophagous fungi are represented in all fungal groups: Basidiomycota, Ascomycota, Zygomycota, and Chytridiomycota. The amoebophagous fungi, within the zygomycota (Zoopagales, Zoopagomycota), mainly affect naked amoebae as ectoparasites or endoparasites. It is rather difficult to isolate members of the Zoopagales, because of their parasitic lifestyle, and to bring them into culture. Consequently, gene sequences of this group are undersampled, and its species composition and phylogeny are relatively unknown. In the present study, we were able to isolate amoebophagous fungi together with their amoeba hosts from various habitats (moss, pond, bark, and soil). Altogether, four fungal strains belonging to the genera Acaulopage and Stylopage plus one unidentified isolate were detected. Sequences of the 18S rDNA and the complete ITS region and partial 28S (LSU) rDNA were generated. Subsequent phylogenetic analyses showed that all new isolates diverge at one branch together with two environmental clonal sequences within the Zoopagomycota. Here, we provide the first molecular characterization of the genus Stylopage. Stylopage is closely related to the genus Acaulopage. In addition, taxonomy and phylogeny of amoebophagous fungi and their ecological importance are reviewed based on new sequence data, which includes environmental clonal sequences.
