How fungi see the world: fungal photoreceptors and their role in the regulation of fungal biology.
Review in Microbiology and molecular biology reviews : MMBR, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
SUMMARYFungi use light as a signal for the regulation of development, to guide the growth of reproductive structures, and to protect the fungal cell from DNA damage produced by light and UV radiation. Light perception requires the activity of photoreceptors that relay the light signal through transduction pathways into the cellular response. Fungi can see and react to a wide range of colors, but most fungi use blue light as their primary signal to regulate its photobiology. Examples of fungal perception of UV, green, and red light, like plants, have been documented and, in most cases, the photoreceptors responsible for these responses have been identified. Blue light is perceived through the activity of light-regulated transcription factors, the WC proteins, first identified in
