Wallemia orionensis sp. nov., a Xerophilic and Halotolerant Fungus Isolated from Air Environment.
Article in Current microbiology, 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
A novel xerophilic fungus, Wallemia orionensis sp. nov., was isolated from air samples collected in a cake production environment and is described here based on a polyphasic approach, including molecular phylogenetics, morphology, and physiological traits. Phylogenetic analyses using concatenated ITS and SSU rDNA sequences revealed that the three strains form a distinct and well-supported clade within the genus Wallemia, clearly separated from all currently recognized species. Colonies of W. orionensis exhibit slow to moderate growth on media supplemented with high concentrations of glucose or sodium chloride, but fail to grow on media lacking such solutes, confirming its obligate xerophilic nature. The species demonstrates remarkable halotolerance and osmophily, growing optimally in media containing 50% glucose or 10-17% NaCl. Microscopic examination reveals that it exhibits the characteristic morphological features of the genus Wallemia, with arthroconidia formed by the fragmentation of hyphae, appearing as short cylindrical, barrel-shaped, or bluntly rounded structures. The isolation of W. orionensis from air samples in a cake production environment expands the known diversity of the genus Wallemia and contributes to a better understanding of fungal adaptation to high-solute, low-water-activity conditions.
