Two novel entomopathogenic fungal species of Lecanicillium isolated from soil in China.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 genus Lecanicillium was established in 2001 based on the type species Lecanicillium lecani (former, Verticillium lecani), which is an important entomopathogenic fungus. To date, more than thirty species in the genus have been reported, but much more are waiting to discover. In this study, two novel species isolated from soil in east China were identified. They differ from known closely related species primarily in sporulation structure, conidia and colony morphological characteristics, and sequence variations in the LSU, SSU, ITS, and TEF gene regions of the ribosomal DNA. Multigene phylogenetic analysis has provided strong molecular evidence supporting the classification of the strains, AH13B2 and JX15A210 within the genus Lecanicillium. The new species are formally named as follows: L. anqingense sp. nov. and L. renii sp. nov., respectively. Bioassays conducted on the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella and crucifer aphid, Lipaphis erysimi showed that both fungal strains exhibit virulence. When treating with 1 × 10
