Nucleo-cytoplasmic compatibility in interspecies Saccharomyces hybrids and the destabilisation of the mitogenome by allospecific recombination.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 postzygotic reproductive isolation of species in the Saccharomyces genus is maintained by failure of the homeologous chromosomes to pair in meiosis and by repression of the mating programme by MATa/MATalpha heterozygosity, but nucleo-mitochondrial incompatibilities causing respiration deficiency were also proposed to be involved. In this study, we investigated the compatibility of parental and recombinant mitogenomes with alloploid nuclear genomes in synthetic S. cerevisiae x S. uvarum hybrids. All hybrids were homoplasmic but their mitogenomes showed high structural diversity due to frequent allospecific recombination. 34 recombination sites were identified, all in coding regions. From the location of the sites, it could be inferred that both intron-homing and crossing-over were involved. The recombinant mitogenomes had diverse combinations of parental and chimeric genes. The respiration proficiency of the hybrids indicates compatibility between their (parental or recombinant) mitogenomes and alloploid nuclear genomes. However, the recombinant mitogenomes were unstable, resulting in respiration-deficient segregants in the hybrid cultures. Since lack of respiration impairs sporulation efficiency and also competitiveness in mixed populations with respiration-proficient (e.g. parental) cells, destabilisation of the mitogenome by allospecific recombination may (indirectly) contribute to the biological isolation of Saccharomyces species.
