Black yeasts are efficient heterologous hosts for the production of a wide range of fungal polyketides.
Article in Nature chemical biology, 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 polyketides are a rich source of bioactive molecules. Their biosynthesis is often activated by environmental conditions that are hard to reproduce under laboratory conditions. Heterologous expression bypasses native regulation, enabling systematic polyketide discovery. The most widely used fungal hosts are the highly tractable Saccharomycotina yeasts with a narrow product scope and the metabolically robust but less tractable filamentous Eurotiomycetes. Here we established yeasts of the genera Exophiala and Knufia as hosts for polyketide production. These hosts are genetically tractable and robust, allowing us to heterologously produce six fungal polyketides with different domain architectures: 6-methylsalicylic acid, YWA1, monocillin II, farinosone B and monacolin J. Our findings demonstrate that these yeast hosts can efficiently produce complex polyketides allowing systematic polyketide synthase expression.
