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

Cr(VI) tolerance level of phytopathogenic fungus viz., Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid was assessed through growth, morphological, physiological, and metal accumulation assays. Initially, the fungus growth assays indicated that the fungus can grow over concentration range of 20-3000 ppm and exhibited high tolerance index (0.88-1.00) and minimum inhibitory concentration at 3500 ppm of Cr. Observations under compound and scanning electron microscope un-revealed the structural features of hyphae under Cr stress as thick-walled, aggregated, branched, short and broken, along with attachment of irregular objects on them. Metal accumulation analysis revealed reduction in Cr(VI) accumulation by the fungus with increase in metal concentration in the growth medium (500-3000 ppm). Cr stress induced upregulation of antioxidant enzyme activities (catalase, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase), expression of genes (MSN1 and metallothionein) and appearnace of new protein bands suggesting the possible role in protection and survival of M. phaseolina against Cr(VI)-induced oxidative stress. This study concludes that interference of Cr with growth and physiological process of M. phaseolina could affect its infection level on its host plant, therefore, synergistic action of two factors needs to be addressed, which may aid to guide future research efforts in understanding impact of plant-pathogen-heavy metal interaction.
