Wheat Germ Agglutinin-Alexa Fuor488/Propidium Iodine Costaining and Fluorescence Microscopic Imaging of Ustilago maydis Infected Maize Anthers.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 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
Ustilago maydis infects all aerial maize tissues, forming tumors and altering host development. However, most published methods focus on seedling leaf infections in order to understand the interaction between maize and U. maydis. Cytological analysis, particularly fluorescence microscopy, is vital not only for examining fungal infection progression, but also for understanding the host's response. Thus, a detailed protocol is presented here for dissecting U. maydis-infected maize anthers, followed by costaining with wheat germ agglutinin-Alexa Fluor 488 (WGA-AF488) and propidium iodide (PI). WGA-AF488 specifically labels fungal cell walls, while PI stains all cells. This robust method enables clear cytological analysis of fungal structures and the status of the host cell, overcoming imaging challenges posed by thick maize tissues.
