Genomic Exploration of Climate-driven Evolution and Evolutionary Convergence in Forest Pathogens.
Article in Genome biology and evolution, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Climate significantly influences the distribution, composition, and diversity of fungal communities, impacting the growth, spread, and virulence of fungal forest pathogens. This study employs advanced landscape genomics methods to explore the genomic adaptations of three major fungal pathogens: Those responsible for Dutch elm disease, dothistroma needle blight, and Swiss needle cast. Our findings reveal that precipitation and humidity are primary drivers of adaptation in these species. We use these insights to forecast potential adaptations under future climate scenarios (genomic offset) and identify specific genes and pathways associated with climate responses in each pathogen. Notably, we detect a convergence in moisture adaptation across these distantly related species, particularly in genes related to the cytoskeleton and transporters. This study enhances our understanding of fungal pathogen evolution in response to climate change, offering crucial insights for forest disease management.
