Origins of xyloglucan-degrading enzymes in fungi.
Review in The New phytologist, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The origin story of land plants - the pivotal evolutionary event that paved the way for terrestrial ecosystems of today to flourish - lies within their closest living relatives: the streptophyte algae. Streptophyte cell wall composition has evolved such that profiles of cell wall polysaccharides can be used as taxonomic markers. Since xyloglucan is restricted to the streptophyte lineage, we hypothesized that fungal enzymes evolved in response to xyloglucan availability in streptophyte algal or land plant cell walls. The record of the origins of these enzymes is embedded in fungal genomes, and comparing genomes of fungi that share an ancient common ancestor can provide insights into fungal interactions with early plants. This Viewpoint contributes a review of evidence underlying current assumptions about the distribution of xyloglucan in plant and algal cell walls. We evaluate evolutionary scenarios that may have given rise to the observed distribution of putative xyloglucanases in fungi and discuss possible biological contexts in which these enzymes could have evolved. Our findings suggest that fungal xyloglucanase evolution was more likely driven by land plant diversification and biomass accumulation than by the first origins of xyloglucan in streptophyte algal cell walls.
