Dimorphic mating-type chromosomes in the fungus Microbotryum violaceum.

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
Fungi often mate as haploids, and sex chromosomes (i.e., mating-type chromosomes) that are dimorphic for their size or overall DNA content have never been reported in this kingdom. Using electrophoretic techniques for karyotype analysis, a highly dimorphic chromosome pair that determines mating compatibility is shown to occur in populations of the fungus Microbotryum violaceum. This substantiates the evolution of such dimorphism as a general feature associated with haploid determination of mating compatibility, which previously had been known only in haplodioecious plants (mosses and liverworts). Size-dimorphic sex chromosomes are present in a lineage of M. violaceum native to Europe, as well as a lineage native to North America. However, they are very different in size between these lineages, indicating either independent evolution of the dimorphism or a large degree of divergence since their isolation. Several DNA sequences that show sequence similarity to transposons were isolated from these sex chromosomes.
