Gene expression of the ericoid mycorrhizal fungus Oidiodendron maius in the presence of high zinc concentrations.
Article in Mycorrhiza, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
A heavy metal tolerant strain of the ericoid mycorrhizal species Oidiodendron maius, isolated from roots of Vaccinium myrtillus growing in soil heavily contaminated with zinc, was previously shown to tolerate high concentrations of zinc and cadmium ions in the growth medium. We have investigated the genetic basis of this fungal strain tolerance to high zinc concentrations by using an untargeted approach. From a cDNA library constructed by using mRNA from Zn-treated O. maius mycelia, 444 clones were randomly selected and 318 were sequenced. Sequence analysis identified 219 unique clones: 117 showed homology to previously identified genes, 26 matched unknown protein coding regions found in other organisms, and 76 were novel. Variation in the gene expression level after a 20-day treatment with high concentrations of Zn was monitored on 130 unigenes by reverse northern blot hybridisation. Sixteen unigenes were shown to be either up- (9) or down- (7) regulated. The putative function of these genes and their involvement in stress tolerance is discussed.
