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

backgroundThe Colletotrichum fructicola (C. fructicola) is a hemibiotrophic fungus, which causes devastating anthracnose in strawberry. At present, the resistance mechanism to C. fructicola remains poorly understood.

resultsHere, we used RNA-sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) metabolomics to excavate the molecular mechanism of strawberry resistance to C. fructicola. The differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened at different stages after C. fructicola infection in the susceptible 'Benihoppe' and resistant cultivar 'Sweet Charlie'. The core common DEGs with high association of common DAMs were identified by multi-omics integration analysis, and showed convergence and divergence in the two strawberry cultivars. Strikingly, the phenylpropanoids biosynthesis was simultaneously enriched in a multi-level omics at different stages after C. fructicola infection in the resistant (R) and susceptible (S) strawberries. Furthermore, we constructed the DEGs-DAMs map of phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. More importantly, we showed that chloroplasts and starch and sugar metabolism related genes, such as chlorophyII A-B binding genes, glycosyl hydrolase (GH) family genes and so on, were differentially expressed.

conclusionsTaken together, our study revealed major changes in genes and metabolites expression associated with C. fructicola resistance, and identified the multi-level regulatory network based on phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, useful for further mechanistic excavation of resistance to C. fructicola in strawberries.
