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

We previously demonstrated that the NDK-1 (Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase-1) point mutant, ndk-1(P72H), displays a defective phenotype in light-induced perithecial polarity in Neurospora crassa. To investigate the biological function of NDK-1 in detail, we isolated two ndk-1 mutants, ndk-1(RIP-1) and ndk-1(RIP-2), using the RIPing (repeat induced point mutation) method. Notably, we detected no accumulation of ndk-1(RIP-1) mRNA and truncated NDK-1(RIP-2) protein. The ndk-1(RIP) mutants exhibited altered morphogenesis; (1) aerial hypha was not formed with no conidium formation, (2) the mutants exhibited colonial, and very slow mycelial growth on a solid medium and by shaking culture in a liquid medium, (3) light-induced carotenoid accumulation in mutant mycelia is reduced to less than half that by wild type, (4) the mutants exhibited spiral growth of mycelia, and (5) female sterility with defective protoperithecium formation. The morphogenetic processes of 1, 3, and 5 are light induced in the wild type. Moreover, despite only 10-20% of total nucleoside diphosphate kinase activity, the accumulation of relevant transcripts in the ndk-1(RIP) mutants, such as al-1 and al-2, was similar to that of wild type.
