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

The nucleolus is a well-characterized sub-nuclear compartment primarily responsible for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis and ribosome biogenesis. In addition to these canonical functions, it plays roles in a variety of other cellular processes. Despite its importance, the contributions of the nucleolus to fungal development and pathogenicity remain poorly understood, especially in filamentous fungi. The structure and function of the nucleolus are regulated by numerous proteins that either reside within it or shuttle between the nucleolus and nucleoplasm, often guided by short amino acid motifs known as nucleolar localization signals (NoLSs). However, comprehensive resources cataloguing nucleolar proteins and their localization signals in fungi are currently lacking, hindering systematic investigations of nucleolar function across species. To address this gap, we developed FuNGI (Fungal Nucleolar Genomic Inventory), a web-based interactive database for the exploration of fungal proteins containing predicted nucleolar localization signals. The current version of FuNGI includes proteins containing predicted nucleolar localization signals and their associated NoLSs across 769 fungal proteomes spanning eight phyla. The database offers a user-friendly interface that enables browsing, retrieval, and comparison of NoLS-containing proteins across multiple species. Each entry integrates sequence-based predictions and functional annotations to support comparative and functional analyses. To our knowledge, FuNGI is the first comprehensive and interactive database dedicated to fungal proteins containing predicted nucleolar localization signals. By enabling systematic and cross-species analyses, FuNGI provides a valuable resource for advancing our understanding of fungal nucleoli and their roles in fungal biology and pathogenicity.
