Whole genome sequencing of Wilsonomyces carpophilus, an incitant of shot hole disease in stone fruits: insights into secreted proteins of a necrotrophic fungal repository.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundShot hole is one of the important fungal diseases in stone fruits viz., peach, plum, apricot and cherry caused by Wilsonomyces carpophilus and almond among nut crops. Fungicides significantly decrease the disease. Pathogenicity studies proved a wide host range of the pathogen infecting all stone fruits and almond among the nut crops, however, the mechanism underlying host-pathogen interaction is still unknown. Molecular detection of the pathogen using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers is also unknown due to the unavailability of the pathogen genome. METHODS AND
resultsWe examined the morphology, pathology and genomics of the Wilsonomyces carpophilus. Whole genome sequencing of the W. carpophilus was carried out by Illumina HiSeq and PacBio high throughput sequencing plate-forms through hybrid assembly. Constant selection pressure alters the molecular mechanism of the pathogen causing disease. The studies revealed that the necrotrophs are more lethal with a complex pathogenicity mechanism and little-understood effector repositories. The different isolates of necrotrophic fungus W. carpophilus causing shot hole in stone fruits namely peach, plum, apricot and cherry, and almonds among the nut crops showed a significant variation in their morphology, however, the probability value (p = 0.29) suggests in-significant difference in the pathogenicity. Here, we reported draft genome of W. carpophilus of size 29.9 Mb (Accession number: PRJNA791904). A total of 10,901 protein-coding genes were predicted, including heterokaryon incompatibility genes, cytochrome-p450 genes, kinases, sugar transporters among others. We found 2851 simple sequence repeats (SSRs), tRNAs, rRNAs and pseudogenes in the genome. The most prominent proteins showing necrotrophic lifestyle of the pathogen were hydrolases, polysaccharide-degrading enzymes, esterolytic, lipolytic, and proteolytic enzymes accounted for 225 released proteins. Among the 223 fungal species, top-hit species distribution revealed the majority of hits against the Pyrenochaeta species followed by Ascochyta rabiei and Alternaria alternata.

A significant variation in morphology was observed in different pathogen isolates. A total of 10,901 protein-coding genes were predicted in the pathogen genome including heterokaryon incompatibility, cytochrome-p450 genes, kinases and sugar transporters.
