1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Epigenetic regulator (ER) genes, crucial for fungal growth and development, remain largely unexplored in Ganoderma lucidum, a medicinal mushroom valued for its bioactive compounds. This study identified 81 ER genes in G. lucidum, distributed across 12 chromosomes and classified into six families: 3 chromatin remodelers, 4 DNA methyltransferases, 7 histone acetyltransferases, 22 histone deacetylases, 23 histone methyltransferases, and 22 histone demethyltransferases. Comparative and phylogenetic analyses with other species revealed conserved orthologs and species-specific clusters. Gene duplication analysis suggested whole-genome duplication expanded ER gene families, primarily histone demethyltransferases under purifying selection. Additionally, gene structure, motif, and domain analyses revealed family-specific intron/exon organization and conserved domains. Transcriptome profiling across four developmental stages (mycelium, primordia, young and mature fruiting body) revealed dynamic stage-specific expression patterns, suggesting their developmental significance. The result of qRT-PCR validated the expression patterns for 18 ER genes, laying foundation for future research exploring epigenetic regulation in fungal development and bioactive compound production.
