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

The global regulator LaeA and its orthologs govern the morphogenetic development and secondary metabolism of several filamentous ascomycetes. In Aspergillus niger, it has been shown that an LaeA ortholog (AnLaeA) regulates the production of citric acid and secondary metabolites. In this work, we constructed AnlaeA disruption and overexpression strains to investigate the roles of AnLaeA in morphological development and ochratoxin A (OTA) biosynthesis in A. niger. Phenotypic observation, chemical analysis, and gene expression analysis indicated that AnLaeA acts as a negative regulator of conidial morphogenesis and positively regulates gene expression of the OTA cluster in A. niger grown in CYA medium. However, it was observed that the upregulation of gene expression of the OTA cluster does not necessarily increase OTA production. Our results contribute to a better understanding of the AnlaeA regulatory mechanism and suggest the AnlaeA gene as a potential target for developing control strategies for A. niger infection and OTA biosynthesis.
