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

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, los1 encodes a nuclear tRNA exporter. Despite the non-essentiality, the deletion of los1 has been shown to extend replicative life span in yeast. Here, we characterized AfuXpot, the los1 homologue in human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus and found that it is continuously expressed during fungal growth. Microscopic examination of an AfuXpot-GFP-expressing transformant confirmed the nuclear localization of the fusion protein. The targeted gene deletion affirmed the non-essential role of AfuXpot in hyphal growth and sporulation. However, the growth of the deletion mutant was affected by amino acid, but not glucose, deprivation. The susceptibility of the deletant strain to protein and DNA/RNA synthesis inhibitors was also altered. Using bioinformatics tools, some transcription factor binding sites were predicted in AfuXpot promoter. Expression analyses of potential AfuXpot-interacting genes showed a marked down-regulation of sfp1 and mtr10 homologues in ΔAfuXpot strain. Our data demonstrates some conserved aspects of AfuXpot as a tRNA exporter in A. fumigatus.
