FunFEA: an R package for fungal functional enrichment analysis.
Article in BMC bioinformatics, 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
backgroundThe functional annotation of fungal genomes is critical for understanding their biological processes and ecological roles. While existing tools support functional enrichment analysis from publicly available annotations of well-established model organisms, few are tailored to the specific needs of the fungal research community. Furthermore, many tools struggle with processing functional annotations of novel species, for which no publicly available functional annotations are yet available.
resultsFunFEA is an R package designed for functional enrichment analysis of fungal genomes. It supports COG/KOG (Clusters of Orthologous Genes), GO (Gene Ontology), and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) annotations, and generates background frequency models from publicly available annotations for overrepresentation analysis, within a set of experimentally defined genes or proteins. Additionally, FunFEA can process eggNOG-mapper annotations, thus enabling functional enrichment analysis of novel genomes. The package offers a suite of tools for generation of background frequency models, functional enrichment analysis, as well as visualization of enriched functional categories. On release, the package includes precomputed models for 65 commonly used fungal strains in academic research and strains listed on the WHO fungal priority pathogens list.
conclusionsFunFEA fills a critical need for a specialized tool in fungal genomics, providing valuable insights into fungal biology. Additionally, its ability to process eggNOG-mapper annotations makes it an essential resource for researchers, helping to drive further exploration of fungal functional diversity and pathways and derive biological insights from novel genomes.
