Light sensing and responses in fungi.
Review in Nature reviews. Microbiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 130 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
Light controls important physiological and morphological responses in fungi. Fungi can sense near-ultraviolet, blue, green, red and far-red light using up to 11 photoreceptors and signalling cascades to control a large proportion of the genome and thereby adapt to environmental conditions. The blue-light photoreceptor functions directly as a transcriptional regulator in the nucleus, whereas the red-light-sensing and far-red-light-sensing phytochrome induces a signalling pathway to transduce the signal from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Green light can be sensed by retinal-binding proteins, known as opsins, but the signalling mechanisms are not well understood. In this Review, we discuss light signalling processes in fungi, their signalling cascades and recent insights into the integration of light signalling pathways with other regulatory circuits in fungal cells.
