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 LysM proteins have been reported to be important for the virulence and host immunity suppression in herbaceous plant pathogens, whereas far less information is documented in the woody plant pathogen Lasiodiplodia theobromae. To investigate the functional mechanism of LysM protein in L. theobromae, one gene LtScp1 was cloned and characterized detailedly in the current study. Transcription profiling revealed that LtScp1 was highly expressed at the infectious stages. Compared to wild type, overexpression and silencing of LtScp1 in L. theobromae led to significantly increased and decreased lesion areas, respectively. Moreover, LtScp1 was determined to be a secreted protein via a yeast signal peptide trapping system. Interestingly, LtScp1 was confirmed to be modified by the N-glycosylation, which is necessary for the homodimerization of LtScp1 molecules. Furthermore, it was found that LtScp1 interacted with the grapevine chitinase VvChi4 and interfered the ability of VvChi4 to bind chitin. Collectively, these results suggest that LtScp1 functions as a virulence factor to protect the fungus from degradation during the infection.
