Emerging Roles of Exocyst Complex in Fungi: A Review.
Review in Journal of fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. 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
The exocyst complex, an evolutionarily conserved octameric protein assembly, plays a central role in the targeted binding and fusion of vesicles at the plasma membrane. In fungal cells, this transport system is essential for polarized growth, morphogenesis, cell wall maintenance and virulence. Recent advances have greatly improved our understanding of the role and regulation of the exocyst complex in fungi. This review synthesizes these developments and focuses on the intricate interplay between the exocyst complex, specific fungal cargos and regulatory proteins. Insights into thestructure of the exocyst and its functional dynamics have revealed new dimensions of its architecture and its interactions with the cellular environment. Furthermore, the regulation of exocyst activity involves complex signaling pathways and interactions with cytoskeletal elements that are crucial for its role in vesicle trafficking. By exploring these emerging themes, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the multifaceted functions of the exocyst complex in fungal biology. Understanding these mechanisms offers potential avenues for novel therapeutic strategies against fungal pathogens and insights into the general principles of vesicle trafficking in eukaryotic cells. The review therefore highlights the importance of the exocyst complex in maintaining cellular functions and its broader implications in fungal pathogenicity and cell biology.
