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

In eukaryotes, the ubiquitin-like (UBL) protein-activating enzymes play a crucial role in autophagy process, however, it is poorly characterized in filamentous fungi. Here, we investigated the functions of two UBL activating enzymes, BcAtg3 (E2) and BcAtg7 (E1) in the plant pathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea. The physical interaction of BcAtg3 with BcAtg7 was demonstrated by yeast two-hybrid system. Subcellular localization assays showed that BcAtg3 diffused in cytoplasm, and BcAtg7 localized in cytoplasm as pre-autophagosomal structures (PAS). Target gene deletion experiments revealed that both BcATG3 and BcATG7 are essential for autophagy pathway. Notably, the single deletion mutant of BcATG3 and BcATG7 displayed similar biological phenotypes, including the defects in mycelial growth, conidiation and sclerotial formation. Infection tests showed that both BcATG3 and BcATG7 were required for full virulence of B. cinerea. All of these defective phenotypes were rescued by gene complementation. These results indicate that BcATG3 and BcATG7 are necessary for autophagy to regulate fungal development and pathogenesis in B. cinerea.
