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

Ascospores are the primary inoculum in the wheat scab fungus Fusarium graminearum that was recently shown to have sexual stage-specific A-to-I RNA editing. One of the genes with premature-stop-codons requiring A-to-I editing to encode full-length functional proteins is AMD1 that encodes a protein with a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) domain. Here, we characterized the functions of AMD1 and its UAG to UGG editing event. The amd1 deletion mutant was normal in growth and conidiation but defective in ascospore discharge due to the premature breakdown of its ascus wall in older perithecia, which is consistent with the specific expression of AMD1 at later stages of sexual development. Expression of the wild-type or edited allele of AMD1 but not un-editable allele rescued the defects of amd1 in ascospore discharge. Furthermore, Amd1-GFP localized to the ascus membrane and Amd1 orthologs are only present in ascocarp-forming fungi that physically discharge ascospores. Interestingly, deletion of AMD1 results in the up-regulation of a number of genes related to transporter activity and membrane functions. Overall, these results indicated that Amd1 may play a critical role in maintaining ascus wall integrity during ascus maturation, and A-to-I editing of its transcripts is important for ascospore discharge in F. graminearum.
