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

The Rho GTPase Cdc42 is conserved in fungi and plays a key role in regulating polarity establishment, morphogenesis and differentiation. In this study, we identified an ortholog of Cdc42, CgCdc42, and functionally characterized it to determine the role of Cdc42 in the development and pathogenicity of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, a causal agent of poplar anthracnose. Targeted deletion of CgCdc42 resulted in reduced vegetative growth and dramatic morphological defects, including the formation of elongated conidia and abnormally shaped appressoria. Moreover, CgCdc42 deletion mutants were less virulent on poplar leaves than were wild type. Appressoria formed by ΔCgCdc42 mutants were morphologically abnormal and present in lower numbers on poplar leaves than were those formed by wild type. However, an ROS scavenging assay indicated that the ΔCgCdc42 mutants maintained wild type pathogenicity in the absence of ROS despite having fewer appressoria than wild type, suggesting that the ΔCgCdc42 mutants were deficient in their tolerance of ROS. Additionally, we also found that the distribution of ROS was different after the deletion of CgCdc42, the ΔCgCdc42 mutants were hypersensitive to H
