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

SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors) facilitate intracellular vesicle trafficking and membrane fusion in eukaryotic cells, and play a vital role in growth, development and pathogenicity of phytopathogens. Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by F. graminearum is one of the most devastating diseases of wheat and barley worldwide. Sec22 is a member of the SNARE family of proteins and its homologues have been shown to have diverse biological roles in different organisms. However, the functions of this protein in the development and pathogenesis of F. graminearum are currently unknown. In this study, we employed integrated biochemical, microbiological and molecular genetic approaches to investigate the roles of FgSec22 in F. graminearum. Our data reveal that this SNARE protein is localized to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and is indispensable for normal conidiation, conidial morphology and pathogenesis of this phytopathogenic fungus. Our biochemical assay of deoxynivalenol (DON) reveals the active involvement of this protein in the production of this mycotoxin in F. graminearum. This has further been confirmed by qRT-PCR analyses of trichothecene (TRI) genes' expression where the ΔFgsec22 deletion mutant demonstrated a significant down-regulation of these genes in comparison to the wild-type PH-1. Unlike the wild-type and the complemented strain, the mutant strain presents a remarkable defect in colony formation which reflects the critical role it plays in vegetative growth. Collectively, our data support that the SNARE protein FgSec22 is required for vegetative growth, pathogenesis and DON biosynthesis in F. graminearum.
