Identification of yeast associated with the planthopper, Perkinsiella saccharicida: potential applications for Fiji leaf gall control.
Article in Current microbiology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Yeasts associate with numerous insects, and they can assist the metabolic processes within their hosts. Two distinct yeasts were identified by PCR within the planthopper Perkinsiella saccharicida, the vector of Fiji disease virus to sugarcane. The utility of both microbes for potential paratransgenic approaches to control Fiji leaf gall (FLG) was assessed. Phylogenetic analysis showed one of the microbes is related to yeast-like symbionts from the planthoppers: Laodelphax striatellus, Nilaparvata lugens, and Sogetella furcifera. The second yeast was a member of the Candida genus, a group that has been identified in beetles and recently described in planthoppers. Microscopy revealed the presence of yeast in the fat body of P. saccharicida. The Candida yeast was cultured, and transformation was accomplished by electroporation of Candida albicans codon optimized plasmids, designed to integrate into the genome via homologous recombination. Transgenic lines conferred resistance to the antibiotic nourseothricin and expression of green fluorescent protein was observed in a proportion of the yeast cells. Stably transformed yeast lines could not be isolated as the integrative plasmids presumably replicated within the yeast without integration into the genome. If stable transformation can be achieved, then this yeast may be useful as an agent for a paratransgenic control of FLG.
