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

Autophagy is a sophisticated mechanism for maintaining cellular homeostasis, in which E1-like enzyme (ATG7) controls the activation of ubiquitin-like conjugation system in the autophagy pathway. In the insect pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana, a yeast ortholog of ATG7 was identified and functionally analyzed. Ablation of BbATG7 gene blocks the autophagic process under starvation stress. The mutant ΔBbATG7 exhibited impaired growth on the media with chitin as single nitrogen source. On rich media, gene loss did not cause notable effect on vegetative growth, but resulted in a considerable reduction in conidiation (71.6%) and blastospore yield (61.1%) in the mutant. In addition, the ΔBbATG7 mutant displayed increased sensitivity to stress caused by menadione and Congo red. The virulence of ΔBbATG7 mutant was significantly attenuated as indicated in topical and intrahemocoel injection assays. Our study indicates that BbATG7 contributes to B. bassiana virulence via regulating autophagy pathway and playing non-autophagic functions in the infection cycle.
