ITS2 rRNA Gene Sequence-Structure Phylogeny of the Chytridiomycota (Opisthokonta, Fungi).
Article in Biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
To date, standard rRNA marker genes have had limited success in resolving the phylogeny of the phylum Chytridiomycota. Whereas the conserved and easily alignable ribosomal small subunit 18S rRNA gene had problems resolving nodes relating orders, the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) has been claimed to not be alignable for this group of organisms. Although the ITS2 is a fast-evolving locus, its secondary structure is well conserved. To improve the accuracy and robustness of Chytridiomycota phylogeny, in this study, we attempt, for the first, time to reconstruct an ITS2 sequence-structure phylogeny using the primary sequence and the secondary structure information simultaneously in inferring alignments and trees. Although currently only possible for a fraction of the available data, we show a well-supported ITS2 tree for selected organisms. The results are promising for further exploration of the large number of available ITS2 sequences.
