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

Key requirements for microbes to initiate and establish mutualistic symbiotic interactions with plants are evasion of potential host defense responses and strict control of microbial growth. We have recently shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by a specific fungal NADPH oxidase isoform NoxA, have a critical role in regulating hyphal growth in the mutualistic interaction between Epichloë festucae and perennial ryegrass. Regulation of ROS production in the symbiosis requires two additional components, NoxR and RacA, homologues of the mammalian p67phox and Rac2. Perennial ryegrass host plants containing noxA or noxR mutants lose apical dominance, become severely stunted, and undergo precocious senescence. Our working model proposes that hyphal tip growth and branching is controlled by localized bursts of ROS catalysed by NoxA, following recruitment of NoxR and RacA from the cytosol to the membrane in response to signaling from the grass host.
