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

backgroundPhytophthora cinnamomi is an Oomycetes associated with soil, this Oomycete is one of the most destructive species of Phytophthora, being responsible for the decline of more than 5000 ornamental, forest, or fruit plants. It can secrete a class of protein NPP1 (Phytophthora necrosis inducing protein 1), responsible for inducing necrosis in leaves and roots of plants, leading to their death.

objectiveThis work will report the characterization of the Phytophthora cinnamomi NPP1 gene responsible for the infection of Castanea sativa roots and will characterize the mechanisms of interaction between Phytophthora cinnamomi and Castanea sativa, by gene silencing NPP1 from Phytophthora cinnamomi mediated by RNAi. METHODS AND

resultsFor silencing a part of the coding region of the NPP1 gene, was placed in the sense and antisense directions between an intron and ligated to the integrative vector pTH210. Cassette integration was confirmed by PCR and sequencing on the hygromycin-resistant Phytophthora cinnamomi transformants. Transformants obtained with the silenced gene was used to infect Castanea sativa.

conclusionsPlants infected with these transformants showed a great reduction in disease symptoms, confirming iRNA as a potential alternative biological tool in the study of molecular factors, and in the control and management of Phytophthora cinnamomi.
