Imaging mycorrhizal fungal transformants that express EGFP during ericoid endosymbiosis.
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 13 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
Ericoid endomycorrhizal fungi form intracellular associations with the epidermal root cells of plants belonging to Ericales. In natural environments, these fungi increase the ability of their host plants to colonise soils polluted with toxic metals, although the underlying mechanisms are not clearly understood. Genetic transformation is a powerful tool to study the function of specific genes involved in the interaction of symbiotic fungi with the host plants and with the environment. Here, we investigated the possibility to genetically transform an ericoid endomycorrhizal strain. A metal tolerant mycorrhizal Oidiodendron maius strain isolated from a contaminated area was chosen to develop the transformation system. Two different protocols were used: protoplasts and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Stable transformants were obtained with both techniques. They remained competent for mycorrhizal formation and GFP-transformed fungi were visualised in planta. This is the first report of stable transformation of an ericoid endomycorrhizal fungus. The protocol set up could represent a good starting point for the identification of genes important in the ericoid mycorrhiza formation and in the understanding of how this symbiosis is established and functions. The success in the genetic transformation of this strain will allow us to better define its potential use in bioremediation strategies.
