Induction of conidial traps in the nematode-trapping fungus
Article in mSystems, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Nematode-trapping fungi, renowned for their specialized predatory structures that ensnare nematodes, offer a promising biological approach to managing plant-parasitic nematodes. However, the efficacy of these fungi is frequently hampered by biotic and abiotic factors within the soil, which can significantly impede fungal germination (fungistasis). To counteract these environmental challenges, certain nematode-trapping fungi have evolved to produce traps from their conidia, referred to as conidial traps. This adaptation allows them to bypass the inhibitory effects of their surroundings, enhancing their predatory capabilities. In this study, we explored how soil affects conidial trap formation in IMPORTANCE: Predatory nematode-trapping fungi are important microbial antagonists of nematodes and can be developed into biocontrol agents. However, microbial biocontrol agents often suffer from inconsistent efficacy, primarily due to biotic and abiotic stresses in the rhizosphere soil.
