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

backgroundHypocrea jecorina is the sexual form of the industrial workhorse fungus Trichoderma reesei that secretes cellulases and hemicellulases to degrade lignocellulosic biomass into simple sugars, such as glucose and xylose. H. jecorina CBS999.97 is the only T. reesei wild isolate strain that is sexually competent in laboratory conditions. It undergoes a heterothallic reproductive cycle and generates CBS999.97(1-1) and CBS999.97(1-2) haploids with MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 mating-type loci, respectively. T. reesei QM6a and its derivatives (RUT-C30 and QM9414) all have a MAT1-2 mating type locus, but they are female sterile. Sexual crossing of CBS999.97(1-1) with either CBS999.97(1-2) or QM6a produces fruiting bodies containing asci with 16 linearly arranged ascospores (the sexual spores specific to ascomycetes). This sexual crossing approach has created new opportunities for these biotechnologically important fungi.

resultsThrough genetic and genomic analyses, we show that the 16 ascospores are generated via meiosis followed by two rounds of postmeiotic mitosis. We also found that the haploid genomes of CBS999.97(1-2) and QM6a are similar to that of the ancestral T. reesei strain, whereas the CBS999.97(1-1) haploid genome contains a reciprocal arrangement between two scaffolds of the CBS999.97(1-2) genome. Due to sequence heterozygosity, most 16-spore asci (>90%) contain four or eight inviable ascospores and an equal number of segmentally aneuploid (SAN) ascospores. The viable SAN progeny produced higher levels of xylanases and white conidia due to segmental duplication and deletion, respectively. Moreover, they readily lost the duplicated segment approximately two weeks after germination. With better lignocellulosic biomass degradation capability, these SAN progeny gain adaptive advantages to the natural environment, especially in the early phase of colonization.

conclusionsOur results have not only further elucidated T. reesei evolution and sexual development, but also provided new perspectives for improving T. reesei industrial strains.
