1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Cryptochromes and photolyase-related (CRY/PHR) proteins are flavoproteins involved in blue-light signaling and/or the light-dependent repair of UV-induced DNA damage across all domains of life. Although well-studied in many eukaryotes, their evolution and function in mushroom-forming fungi (Agaricomycetes and Basidiomycota) remain poorly understood. By analyzing 655 genomes, we show that fungi ancestrally possessed four CRY/PHR subfamilies, of which class I cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) photolyases became broadly conserved across Dikarya. Class I CPD photolyase-related proteins have been lost in Agaricomycetes with gasteroid fruiting bodies, where sexual spores develop shielded from light. Functional characterization of the class I CPD protein Phr1 of
