Genomic characterization of Parengyodontium americanum sp. nov.
Article in Fungal genetics and biology : FG & B, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Modern genome analysis and phylogenomic methods have increased the number of fungal species, as well as enhanced appreciation of the degree of diversity within the fungal kingdom. In this context, we describe a new Parengyodontium species, P. americanum, which is phylogenetically related to the opportunistic human fungal pathogen P. album. Five unusual fungal isolates were recovered from five unique and confirmed coccidioidomycosis patients, and these isolates were subsequently submitted to detailed molecular and morphological identification procedures to determine identity. Molecular and morphological diagnostic analyses showed that the isolates belong to the Cordycipitaceae. Subsequently, three representative genomes were sequenced and annotated, and a new species, P. americanum, was identified. Using various genomic analyses, gene family expansions related to novel compounds and potential for ability to grow in diverse habitats are predicted. A general description of the genomic composition of this newly described species and comparison of genome content with Beauveria bassiana, Isaria fumosorosea and Cordyceps militaris shows a shared core genome of 6371 genes, and 148 genes that appear to be specific for P. americanum. This work provides the framework for future investigations of this interesting fungal species.
