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

The gamma-linolenic acid-producing fungus Mortierella isabellina 6-22 is an important industrial strain. To clarify the biosynthetic pathways for polyunsaturated fatty acids in this strain, a disruption vector pD4MI6, including 5' and 3' regions of the fatty acid Delta(6)-desaturase open reading frame as homologous recombination elements and the Escherichia coli hygromycin B (HmB) phosphotransferase gene (hph) as selectable marker, was successfully constructed. Following transformation of pD4MI6 into the hygromycin B-sensitive recipient strain M. isabellina 6-22-4, a Delta(6)-desaturase gene-defective mutant strain was selected that was unable to produce gamma-linolenic acid as determined by gas chromatography and molecular analysis. The morphology and physiology of the mutant, such as colony shape, color, and growth rate, were changed dramatically compared with that of strain M. isabellina 6-22-4.
