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

Cyclophilins are peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases that are highly conserved throughout eukaryotes and are the cellular target of the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A (CsA). We cloned cyp1, a cyclophilin A-encoding gene in the phytopathogenic fungus Cryphonectria parasitica, and showed that this gene was downregulated following infection by a virulence-attenuating hypovirus. The function of cyp1 was further investigated by construction of a cyp1 deletion mutant. Although the wild-type C. parasitica strain EP155 was sensitive to CsA, the Δcyp1 strain was highly tolerant to CsA, indicating that CYP1 was the target of CsA. Deletion of cyp1 resulted in reduced virulence when inoculated to chestnut stems. Transcriptional analysis revealed that deletion of cyp1 also reduced transcript levels for genes encoding key components of the heterotrimeric guanosine triphosphate-binding protein signalling pathway that are essential for sensing environmental cues and are involved in C. parasitica development and virulence.
