1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Colletotrichum trifolii is a fungal pathogen responsible for anthracnose disease of alfalfa. Previously, a serine/threonine protein kinase gene from this fungus (TB3), which is a functional homolog of the Neurospora crassa COT1 kinase, has been isolated in our laboratory and appears to be associated with hyphal elongation and branching. In this report we show that light treatment rapidly induces TB3 expression and hyphal branching frequency. Western analysis showed TB3 localization in both the cytoplasm and nucleus, but not in membranes. Moreover, indirect immunofluorescence indicated that TB3 levels were most abundant in the nucleus. To further evaluate the subcellular distribution of TB3, a TB3::GFP fusion construct was inserted into C. trifolii. Results indicated that the cellular location of TB3 changed during fungal growth and development. Consistent with previous observations, TB3 was localized in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus but was preferentially localized in the nucleus during extended hyphal growth. The amino terminus of TB3 contains two relatively long polyglutamine repeats. Yeast-based assays showed that these polyglutamine tracts can activate transcription. These results suggest that TB3 may be positioned in a signaling cascade regulating proper hyphal growth and development by functioning as a transcription factor.
