Fungal diversity, ecology and functions in soil ecosystems.
Review in Nature reviews. Microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Fungi are a key component of the microbial community in soils, forming species-rich assemblages in soils of natural ecosystems and managed soils. Their unique physiology, absorptive nutritional mode and growth form as spore-producing filamentous eukaryotes enables them to make specific contributions to a wide range of ecological roles as potent decomposers, versatile mutualists and also destructive pathogens. Fungi have important roles in biogeochemical cycles, for example, in nutrient mineralization, plant nutrient uptake and carbon storage. Positioned at the basis of the soil food web, they are one of the pillars of the flow of carbon and energy through the soil food web. As bottom-up controlled organisms in the soil, largely controlled by their resources, they react sensitively to a range of anthropogenic factors, including climate change and other factors of global environmental change, such as chemical pollution. By influencing the food system and via their role as pathogens and in antifungal resistance, fungi are key players in One Health and planetary health.
