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

Expression profiles of isocitrate lyase (TbICL), malate synthase (TbMLS) and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (TbFBP) from the mycorrhizal ascomycete Tuber borchii were investigated by real-time RT-PCR in fruiting bodies at different stages of maturation. In addition, a time course experiment was set up to determine how the transcription profile of TbICL, TbMLS and TbFBP in axenic-grown mycelia is affected by different carbon sources. The transcript levels of the three genes in the fruiting bodies were all much higher than those measured in the vegetative stage. The investigation on axenic-grown mycelia revealed that the main positive regulator of TbICL and TbMLS gene expression is the availability of acetate and ethanol, while oleic acid is a too complex substrate for the limited degradative capacities of T. borchii. Immunolabelling on axenic-grown mycelia showed a co-localization of TbICL and the peroxisomal marker protein FOX2. This result demonstrated that in T. borchii ICL is compartmentalized in peroxisomes. The high induction of TbICL, TbMLS and TbFBP transcription and the translocation of lipids in fruiting bodies let us hypothesize that glyoxylate cycle and gluconeogenesis are key metabolic pathways in the recycling of existing cell material and the channelling towards the biosynthesis of new cell components during the maturation of fruiting bodies.
