The cell morphological diversity of Saccharomycotina yeasts.
Article in FEMS yeast research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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 ∼1 200 known species in subphylum Saccharomycotina are a highly diverse clade of unicellular fungi. During its lifecycle, a typical yeast exhibits multiple cell types with various morphologies; these morphologies vary across Saccharomycotina species. Here, we synthesize the evolutionary dimensions of variation in cellular morphology of yeasts across the subphylum, focusing on variation in cell shape, cell size, type of budding, and filament production. Examination of 332 representative species across the subphylum revealed that the most common budding cell shapes are ovoid, spherical, and ellipsoidal, and that their average length and width is 5.6 µm and 3.6 µm, respectively. 58.4% of yeast species examined can produce filamentous cells, and 87.3% of species reproduce asexually by multilateral budding, which does not require utilization of cell polarity for mitosis. Interestingly, ∼1.8% of species examined have not been observed to produce budding cells, but rather only produce filaments of septate hyphae and/or pseudohyphae. 76.9% of yeast species examined have sexual cycle descriptions, with most producing one to four ascospores that are most commonly hat-shaped (37.4%). Systematic description of yeast cellular morphological diversity and reconstruction of its evolution promises to enrich our understanding of the evolutionary cell biology of this major fungal lineage.
