A genomic perspective on fungal diversity and evolution.
Review in Nature reviews. Microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Originating from aquatic unicellular ancestors, over the course of ~1 billion years, the fungi have evolved to occupy nearly all aerobic environments on the planet, diversified into millions of different 'species' and have developed complex multicellular structures. Their relatively small, simple genomes have facilitated massive-scale sequencing and allowed us to explore genome evolution across an ancient eukaryotic kingdom. With thousands of genomes from diverse lineages now available, this Review will discuss insights into fungal biology and evolution gleaned with genomics and other multi-omics approaches. Using published genomes available through GenBank and the Joint Genome Institute's MycoCosm platform, we generated kingdom-wide phylogenies and used them to highlight how fungal genomes have changed over time. With this phylogeny as a guide, we also discuss major evolutionary transitions that occurred across the fungal kingdom. Although progress has been made, these efforts are hampered by biases in genome representation and limited characterization of gene functions. Here, we discuss these challenges and possible future directions to address them, including initiatives to characterize conserved genes of unknown function and scale up sequencing towards 10,000 annotated fungal genomes.
