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

Conidia play important roles in primary and secondary infections of airborne fungal pathogens. In this study, an insertional mutant with reduced capacity for conidiation was isolated from the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. The mutant has a T-DNA insertion that disrupts a gene named MoCPS1. The deduced MoCps1 protein contains three AMP-binding domains. Gene complementation and gene knockout assays confirmed that MoCPS1 is important for conidiation. Conidia produced by the MoCPS1 deletion mutants are much more slender and longer than those produced by the wild-type strain. The Mocps1 mutants are less efficient in both appressorial penetration and invasive growth of infection hyphae, resulting in attenuated virulence toward host plants. MoCPS1 is highly expressed in a mature appressorium. Interestingly, the expression levels of several genes related to conidiation and pathogenicity have been significantly altered in the MoCPS1 deletion mutants. Taken together, our results indicated that MoCPS1 is important for conidiogenesis, conidial morphogenesis, and pathogenesis in the rice blast fungus.
