Leveraging genomics to understand the broader role of fungal small secreted proteins in niche colonization and nutrition.
Review in ISME communications, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The last few years have seen significant advances in the breadth of fungi for which we have genomic resources and our understanding of the biological mechanisms evolved to enable fungi to interact with their environment and other organisms. One field of research that has seen a paradigm shift in our understanding concerns the role of fungal small secreted proteins (SSPs) classified as effectors. Classically thought to be a class of proteins utilized by pathogenic microbes to manipulate host physiology in support of colonization, comparative genomic studies have demonstrated that mutualistic fungi and fungi not associated with a living host (i.e., saprotrophic fungi) also encode inducible effector and candidate effector gene sequences. In this review, we discuss the latest advances in understanding how fungi utilize these secreted proteins to colonize a particular niche and affect nutrition and nutrient cycles. Recent studies show that candidate effector SSPs in fungi may have just as significant a role in modulating hyphosphere microbiomes and in orchestrating fungal growth as they do in supporting colonization of a living host. We conclude with suggestions on how comparative genomics may direct future studies seeking to characterize and differentiate effector from other more generalized functions of these enigmatic secreted proteins across all fungal lifestyles.
