Comparative mitogenomics of kingdom Fungi - evolutionary insights and metagenomic applications.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2026. 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
Mitochondria are essential components of eukaryotic cells, responsible for ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation. Despite their biological importance, unique challenges have hindered the adoption of automated mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) annotation methods, obstructing mitochondrial comparative genomics in a broad evolutionary context. Using Fungi as a study system and a Joint Genome Institute (JGI) annotated high-quality reference set, we observed broad patterns of mitochondrial evolution across the kingdom. We found that the median fungal mitogenome size is 58 kb and identified exceptionally large examples over 1 Mb in Pezizomycetes. All 14 expected oxidative phosphorylation protein-coding genes, plus rps3, were generally conserved. We found evidence of major evolutionary transitions within the Ascomycota, including the transfer of mitochondrially encoded atp8 and atp9 to the nuclear genomes across the Pezizomycotina and shifts in mitogenome tRNA patterns across the kingdom. We found substantial concordance between mitochondrial and nuclear evolution, enabling us to document 3131 total fungal mitogenomes from JGI-derived metagenomic datasets. We also identified 6467 total undeclared mitogenomes embedded in Genbank fungal nuclear assemblies. We provide interactive tools for mitogenome analysis through the JGI MycoCosm platform. Collectively, this work generated nearly 10 000 new fungal mitogenome annotations, providing a foundation and resources for future exploration of comparative fungal mitogenomics.
