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

Light is one crucial environmental signal which can determine whether a fungus reproduces asexually or initiates sexual development. Mating in the ascomycete Hypocrea jecorina (anamorph Trichoderma reesei) occurs preferentially in light. We therefore investigated the relevance of the light response machinery for sexual development in H. jecorina. We found that the photoreceptors BLR1 and BLR2 and the light-regulatory protein ENV1 have no effect on male fertility, while ENV1 is essential for female fertility. BLR1 and BLR2 were found to impact fruiting body formation although they are not essential for mating. Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) analyses revealed that BLR1, BLR2, and ENV1 negatively regulate transcript levels of both pheromone receptors as well as peptide pheromone precursors in light but not in darkness and in a mating type-dependent manner. The effect of BLR1 and BLR2 on regulation of pheromone precursor and receptor genes is less severe than that of ENV1 as strains lacking env1 show 100-fold (for ppg1) to more than 100,000-fold (for hpp1) increased transcript levels of pheromone precursor genes as well as more than 20-fold increased levels of hpr1, the pheromone receptor receiving the HPP1 signal in a MAT1-1 strain. ENV1 likely integrates additional signals besides light, and our results indicate that its function is partially mediated via regulation of mat1-2-1. We conclude that ENV1 is essential for balancing the levels of genes regulated in a mating-type-dependent manner, which contributes to determination of sexual identity and fruiting body formation.
