Identification of quantitative trait loci affecting virulence in the basidiomycete Heterobasidion annosum s.l.
Article in Current genetics, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Identification of virulence factors of phytopathogens is important for the fundamental understanding of infection and disease progress in plants and for the development of control strategies. We have identified quantitative trait loci (QTL) for virulence on 1-year-old Pinus sylvestris and 2-year-old Picea abies seedlings and positioned them on a genetic linkage map of the necrotrophic phytopathogen Heterobasidion annosum sensu lato (s.l.), a major root rot pathogen on conifers. The virulence of 102 progeny isolates was analysed using two measurements: lesion lengths and fungal growth in sapwood from a cambial infection site. We found negative virulence effects of hybridization although this was contradicted on a winter-hardened spruce. On P. abies, both measurements identified several partially overlapping QTLs on linkage group (LG) 15 of significant logarithm of odds (LOD) values ranging from 2.31 to 3.85. On P. sylvestris, the lesion length measurement also identified a QTL (LOD 3.09) on LG 15. Moreover, QTLs on two separate smaller LGs, with peak LOD values of 2.78 and 4.58 were identified for fungal sapwood growth and lesion lengths, respectively. The QTL probably represent loci important for specific as well as general aspects of virulence on P. sylvestris and P. abies.
