Introducing Juncigena alexandrina sp. nov. (Ascomycota, Juncigenaceae) from the Mediterranean coast of Egypt, based on morphology and multi-locus phylogeny.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A novel marine fungal species, Juncigena alexandrina is described and illustrated from a decaying stem of Phragmites australis collected from El-Shatby beach of the Mediterranean Sea in Alexandria Governorate, Egypt. Phylogenetic analyses of the combined SSU, ITS, and LSU sequence data placed the new taxon within Juncigena as a phylogenetically distinct species within a clade containing J. adarca and J. fruticosae. Morphologically, the new fungus is characterized by having semi-immersed to erumpent ascomata with a long ostiolar neck covered with branched hairs, 8-spored, cylindrical to clavate asci, and hyaline, fusiform, 3-septate ascospores. It differs from the only known sexual morph in the genus, Juncigena adarca, by having wider, semi-immersed to erumpent ascomata with an ostiolar neck covered by long, branched hairs, wider asci and larger ascospores. Juncigena fruticosae is known only from its asexual stage. The discovery of Juncigena alexandrina expands current understanding of species diversity, morphological variation, and substrate associations within the genus Juncigena.
