Heterologous Systems in the Functional Characterization of Proteins from Phytopathogenic Fungi: A Systematic Review.
Article in Molecular biotechnology, 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
Fungal-host coevolution, intensified by climate change, is attracting greater efforts to characterize new virulence proteins to enable the protection of agricultural crops. Under PRISMA guidelines, in this systematic review we analyzed 122 experimental studies from the Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science databases, mapping heterologous expression systems for fungal phytopathogen proteins from crops such as wheat, maize, rice, and apple, among other agricultural commodities. The results reveal the predominance of Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris, Nicotiana benthamiana, and filamentous fungi in structural and functional validation, both in vitro and in vivo. Although these heterologous hosts elucidate relevant pathogenicity mechanisms and immune suppression, gaps persist, such as the restricted use of filamentous fungi as models and the absence of standardized workflows for the integrated characterization of proteins across multiple hosts. By systematizing bibliometric trends and methodological approaches, this study reveals different strategies used to accelerate the analysis of fungal proteins, contributing to the advancement of molecular phytopathology and global food security.
