Regulatory elements in aflatoxin biosynthesis.
Article in Mycotoxin research, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
This review provides a synopsis of factors involved in the regulation of aflatoxin inAspergillus species at the molecular level. Much of the knowledge available today on the regulation of secondary metabolite production in fungi has been gleaned from studies of the aflatoxin gene cluster inA. flavus andA. parasiticus and the sterigmatocystin gene cluster inA. nidulans. Regulation of these two gene clusters is under the control of both pathway-specific transcription factors such as AflR and AflJ and global or broad-domain transcription factors such as AreA and PacC. Study of secondary metabolite (sec-) mutants inA. parasiticus first identified an association between mycotoxin production and fungal development. This linkage has been extended at the molecular level by the characterization of a G-protein/cAMP/Protein kinase A signaling pathway that regulates sporulation via the transcription factor BrlA and aflatoxin/sterigmatocystin production via AflR. Another global regulator of mycotoxin production, VeA, mediates a developmental light-response inA. nidulans andA. flavus. Though not similar to any known fungal transcriptional regulators, VeA controls aflatoxin/sterigmatocystin production via transcriptional control of AflR and it also regulates development of sexual structures such as cleistothecia inA. nidulans and sclerotia inA. flavus.
