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

Fusarium oxysporum pathogenicity is believed to require the activity of cell wall-degrading enzymes. Production of these enzymes in fungi is subject to carbon catabolite repression, a process that in yeast is mostly controlled by the SNF1 (sucrose non-fermenting 1) gene. To elucidate the role of cell wall-degrading enzymes in F. oxysporum pathogenicity, we cloned and disrupted its SNF1 homologue ( FoSNF1). The fosnf1 mutants had a reduced expression of several genes encoding cell wall-degrading enzymes and grew poorly on certain carbon sources. Infection assays on Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica oleracea revealed that progression of wilt symptoms in plants infected by fosnf1 mutants was considerably delayed, in comparison with those infected by a wild-type strain. In conclusion, mutations in FoSNF1 prevent F. oxysporum from properly derepressing the production of cell wall-degrading enzymes, compromise the utilization of certain carbon sources, and reduce its virulence on A. thaliana and B. oleracea.
