The dynamics of transposable element content in the genome of the human pathogen Histoplasma.
Article in Fungal genetics and biology : FG & B, 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
Histoplasma is a genus of human fungal pathogens that frequently affects immunosuppressed patients. Previous genetic surveys have largely focused on nucleotide-level variation, but much less attention has been given to more complex forms of mutation. Among these, transposable elements (TEs) represent an important class of mobile genetic elements that can alter genome size and play key roles in adaptation and speciation. In this study, we address this gap by examining the content and evolutionary dynamics of TEs in the human pathogen Histoplasma. Using previously published Histoplasma genome assemblies, we quantified TE content across eight phylogenetic species within the genus. Our analyses reveal heterogeneity in the evolutionary patterns of different TE families. The majority of TE orders and superfamilies show strong phylogenetic signal suggesting that phylogenetic relatedness significantly constrains the content of mobile genetic elements. We find no correlation between RNA or DNA TEs and genome size. Together, our results highlight the diverse landscape of TEs in Histoplasma and suggest that future studies should investigate their impact on genome evolution, fitness, and virulence.
