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
The pathogen Cytospora chrysosperma is the causal agent of poplar canker disease and causes considerable economic losses in China. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades play a crucial role in mediating cellular responses and Pmk1-MAPKs are indispensable for pathogenic related processes in plant pathogenic fungi. In previous studies, we demonstrated that the CcPmk1 acts as a core regulator of fungal pathogenicity by modulating a small number of master downstream targets, such as CcSte12. In this study, we identified and characterized two upstream components of CcPmk1: MAPKKK CcSte11 and MAPKK CcSte7. Deletion of CcSte11 and CcSte7, resulted in slowed growth, loss of sporulation and virulence, similar to the defects observed in the CcPmk1 deletion mutant. In addition, CcSte11, CcSte7 and CcPmk1 interact with each other, and the upstream adaptor protein CcSte50 interact with CcSte11 and CcSte7. Moreover, we explored the global regulation network of CcSte12 by transcriptional analysis between CcSte12 deletion mutants and wild-type during the simulated infection process. Two hydrolase activity GO terms (GO:0004553 and GO:0016798) and starch and sucrose metabolism (mgr00500) KEGG pathway were significantly enriched in the down-regulated genes of CcSte12 deletion mutants. In addition, a subset of glycosyl hydrolase genes and putative effector genes were significantly down-regulated in the CcSte12 deletion mutant, which might be important for fungal pathogenicity. Especially, CcSte12 bound to the CcSp84 promoter region containing the TGAAACA motif. Moreover, comparison of CcSte12-regulated genes with CcPmk1-regulated genes revealed 116 overlapping regulated genes in both CcSte12 and CcPmk1, including some virulence-associated genes. Taken together, the protein complexes CcSte11-CcSte7-CcPmk1 receive signals transmitted by upstream CcSte50 and transmit signals to downstream CcSte12, which regulates hydrolase, effectors and other genes to promote virulence. Overall, these results indicate that the CcPmk1-MAPK signaling pathway of C. chrysosperma plays a key role in the pathogenicity.
