Interspecies distribution and processing stability of ergothioneine and histidine in commercially available mushrooms.
Article in microPublication 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
Ergothioneine is a widespread thiol metabolite present in fungal and bacterial species. Ergothioneine has been demonstrated to increase the lifespan of the model laboratory species C. elegans and M. musculus through increased protein crosslinking. It is rapidly gaining popularity as a fungal derived nutraceutical compound, however the complete mushrooms species distribution and ecological role of ergothioneine is unknown. We show ergothioneine concentrations appear to be highest in mushroom species that are capable of cellulose degradation. We also show that ergothioneine is a thermally stable compound and does not appear to degrade but rather increases in concentration in cooked mushrooms.
