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

backgroundFusarium wilt disease of banana is one of the most devastating diseases and was responsible for destroying banana plantations in the late nineteenth century. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense is the causative agent. Presently, both race 1 and 4 strains of Foc are creating havoc in the major banana-growing regions of the world. There is an urgent need to devise strategies to control this disease; that is possible only after a thorough understanding of the molecular basis of this disease.

resultsThere are a few regulators of Foc pathogenicity which are triggered during this infection, among which Sge1 (Six Gene Expression 1) regulates the expression of effector genes. The protein sequence is conserved in both race 1 and 4 strains of Foc indicating that this gene is vital for pathogenesis. The deletion mutant, FocSge1 displayed poor conidial count, loss of hydrophobicity, reduced pigmentation, decrease in fusaric acid production and pathogenicity as compared to the wild-type and genetically complemented strain. Furthermore, the C-terminal domain of FocSge1 protein is crucial for its activity as deletion of this region results in a knockout-like phenotype.

conclusionThese results indicated that FocSge1 plays a critical role in normal growth and pathogenicity with the C-terminal domain being crucial for its activity.
