Production of bioactive spirodioxynaphthalenes from Hermatomyces reticulatus (Pleosporales).
Article in Folia microbiologica, 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
Species of the genus Hermatomyces (Pleosporales) are saprotrophic fungi associated with decaying wood and plant litter in tropical ecosystems. Although these species have been extensively studied in the previous decade, their secondary metabolite profiles remain uninvestigated. During preliminary screening, cultures of several Hermatomyces species exhibited antifungal activity, indicating the presence of bioactive secondary metabolites and motivating further study.In this study, ethyl acetate extracts obtained from eight Hermatomyces species were screened for antimicrobial activity. Based on the observed activity, the ethyl acetate extract of H. reticulatus was selected for further chemical analysis and fractionated using preparative high-performance liquid chromatography. Structural elucidation of the isolated compounds was performed using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.From the extract containing a complex mixture of metabolites, two known spiroketal compounds with documented antimicrobial activity, palmaromycins C2 and C12, were successfully identified. These compounds, previously reported from other fungal taxa, may contribute to the antifungal activity observed in Hermatomyces and suggest a potential ecological role of secondary metabolites in competitive interactions with other microorganisms. In addition, we provide a curated database of known palmarumycins and related compounds, compiled from published peer-reviewed structures, to facilitate future metabolite identification.
