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

Monocarboxylate transporters have a central role in mammalian metabolism, but rarely reported in phytopathogenic fungi. In this study, a putative monocarboxylate transporter gene in Botrytis cinerea [B. cinerea MctA (BcMctA)] was identified in the research of a B. cinerea transfer DNA (T-DNA) insertional mutant (74). Disruption of the gene decreased the growth rate on the medium with monocarboxylate (acetate or pyruvate) as the sole carbon sources, but not affected on lactate. The pyruvate contents in BcmctA deletion mutants decreased about 35 % compared with the wild strain. Besides, the conidial yield was increased about two times in BcmctA disruption mutant. The pathogenicity assay indicated that disruption of BcmctA significantly reduced the virulence of B. cinerea on cucumber and tomato leaves. Our results demonstrated that BcMctA is related to pyruvate uptake and pathogenicity of B. cinerea on cucumber and tomato leaves.
