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

Peroxisomes are indispensable organelles that play critical roles in various biological processes in eukaryotic cells. PEX4, one of the peroxins, is the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme. To functionally characterize roles of FgPEX4 in the phytopathogenic fungus, Fusarium graminearum, we constructed a deletion mutant of FgPEX4 (ΔPEX4) through homologous recombination. ΔPEX4 displayed reduced mycelial growth, conidiation, and the production of perithecia. ΔPEX4 was defective in pathogenicity and production of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON). In addition, FgPEX4 was involved in cell wall integrity, lipid droplet accumulation, and the elimination of reactive oxygen species. Western blot analysis revealed reduced phosphorylation of Mgv1 in the ∆PEX4 mutant. Importantly, proteomics analysis indicated that protein expression levels related to protein biosynthesis, fatty acid metabolism, cell wall synthesis, and oxidation-reduction reactions were downregulated in ΔPEX4 compared with the wild type. Taken together, these results demonstrate that FgPEX4 is important for development, pathogenicity, and cell wall integrity.
