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

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in various cellular growth and developmental processes through post-transcriptional gene regulation via mRNA cleavage and degradation and the inhibition of protein translation. To explore if miRNAs play a role in appressoria formation and virulence that are also governed by the regulators of G-protein signaling (RGS) proteins in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, we have compared small RNA (sRNA) production between several ΔMorgs mutant and the wild-type strains. We have identified sRNA236 as a microRNA-like milR236 that targets the encoding sequence of MoHat1, a histone acetyltransferase type B catalytic subunit involved in appressorium function and virulence. We have also found that milR236 overexpression induces delayed appressorium formation and virulence attenuation, similar to those displayed by the ΔMohat1 mutant strain. Moreover, we have shown that the transcription factor MoMsn2 binds to the promoter sequence of milR236 to further suppress MoHAT1 transcription and MoHat1-regulated appressorium formation and virulence. In summary, by identifying a novel regulatory role of sRNA in the blast fungus, our studies reveal a new paradigm in the multifaceted regulatory pathways that govern the appressorium formation and virulence of M. oryzae.
