Ustilago maydis: how its biology relates to pathogenic development.
Review in The New phytologist, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 62 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
The smut fungus Ustilago maydis is a ubiquitous pathogen of corn. Although of minor economical importance, U. maydis has become the most attractive model among the plant pathogenic basidiomycetes under study. This fungus undergoes a number of morphological transitions throughout its life-cycle, the most prominent being the dimorphic switch from budding to filamentous growth that is prerequisite for entry into the biotrophic phase. The morphological transition is controlled by the tetrapolar mating system. Understanding the mating system has allowed connections to signalling cascades operating during pathogenic development. Here, we will review the status and recent insights into understanding pathogenic development of U. maydis and emphasize areas and directions of future research. Contents Summary 31 I.
