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

Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the most serious diseases of cultivated cruciferous crops in the world. However, the basis for pathogenicity in P. brassicae is not well understood. In this study, a serine protease gene (PRO1) was cloned from P. brassicae and its molecular characteristics were investigated. Southern analysis and specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification indicated that PRO1 is a single-copy gene present in a broad range of P. brassicae pathotypes. Northern analysis revealed that the expression of PRO1 was induced during plant infection, and that the quantity of transcript fluctuated according to the stage of pathogenesis. Amino acid sequence analysis suggested that the encoded protein (Pro1) belongs to the S28 family of proteases, with a predicted signal peptide and a theoretical molecular mass of 49.4 kDa. The open reading frame (ORF) of PRO1 was transferred into Pichia pastoris and Pro1 was heterologously produced. Pro1 showed proteolytic activity on skimmed milk and N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Phe-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin, and the activity could be inhibited by serine protease inhibitors and the chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The optimal temperature of Pro1 was 25 degrees C, and it exhibited high activity at pH 6.0-6.4. These values coincide with the temperature and pH conditions favourable for P. brassicae resting spore germination in the field. When Pro1 was used to treat canola root exudates, it enhanced the stimulating effect of the root exudates on P. brassicae resting spore germination, indicating that Pro1 may play a role during clubroot pathogenesis by stimulating resting spore germination through its proteolytic activity.
