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

Fumonisin B(1) (FB(1)) is an amphipathic toxin produced by the pathogenic fungus Fusarium verticillioides which causes stem, root and ear rot in maize (Zea mays L.). In this work, we studied the action of FB(1) on the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.34) from germinating maize embryos, and on the fluidity and lipid peroxidation of these membranes. In maize embryos the toxin at 40 microM inhibited root elongation by 50% and at 30 microM decreased medium acidification by about 80%. Irrespective of the presence and absence of FB(1), the H(+)-ATPase in plasma membrane vesicles exhibited non-hyperbolic saturation kinetics by ATPH-Mg, with Hill number of 0.67. Initial velocity studies revealed that FB(1) is a total uncompetitive inhibitor of this enzyme with an inhibition constant value of 17.5+/-1 microM. Thus FB(1) decreased V(max) and increased the apparent affinity of the enzyme for ATP-Mg to the same extent. Although FB(1) increased the fluidity at the hydrophobic region of the membrane, no correlation was found with its effect on enzyme activity, since both effects showed different FB(1)-concentration dependence. Peroxidation of membrane lipids was not affected by the toxin. Our results suggest that, under in vivo conditions, the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase is a potentially important target of the toxin, as it is inhibited not only by FB(1) but also by its structural analogs, the sphingoid intermediates, which accumulate upon the inhibition of sphinganine N-acyltransferase by this toxin.
