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

A new osmotin-like protein gene from Solanum nigrum L. var indica (SindOLP) was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The full-length intron-less gene is 744 bp, encoding a mature protein of 247 amino acids with a molecular mass of 26 kDa. The protein has an N-terminal cleavable signal sequence of 21 amino acids. There is the Thaumatin family signature pattern, with one each of amidation, N-myristoylation, casein kinase II phosphorylation, tyrosine kinase phosphorylation, and protein kinase C phosphorylation sites. Hydropathy plot showed that it has six transmembrane helices. It has antifungal activity and can permeabilize fungal hyphae and spores. SindOLP is most active at pH 8, 25 °C and its antifungal activity is retained after 75 °C for 30 min. SindOLP inhibits fungal spore germination. The protein however lacks glucanase activity. The potential for SindOLP in developing fungus-resistant, transgenic crops is discussed.
