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

Reverse genetics is a promising strategy for elucidating the regulatory mechanisms involved in secondary metabolism and development in fungi. Previous studies have demonstrated the key role of histone acetyltransferases in transcriptional regulation. Here, we identified a MYST family histone acetyltransferase encoding gene, mst2, in the filamentous fungus Pestalotiopsis microspora NK17 and revealed its role in development and secondary metabolism. The gene mst2 showed temporal expression that corresponded to the conidiation process in the wild-type strain. Deletion of mst2 resulted in serious growth retardation and impaired conidial development, e.g., a delay and reduced capacity of conidiation and aberrant conidia. Overexpression of mst2 triggered earlier conidiation and higher conidial production. Additionally, deletion of mst2 led to abnormal germination of the conidia and caused cell wall defects. Most significantly, by HPLC profiling, we found that loss of mst2 diminished the production of secondary metabolites in the fungus. Our data suggest that mst2 may function as a general mediator in growth, secondary metabolism and morphological development.
