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

Chromatin dynamics are essential for regulating DNA processes in response to environmental stimuli. Although ISWI-family enzymes are known to remodel chromatin by sliding nucleosomes in budding yeast, their functional roles and outputs in eukaryotes remain largely unknown. In this study, we investigated chromatin accessibility in the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum treated with and without putrescine, a compound that rapidly induces the biosynthesis of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON). Putrescine globally alters chromatin accessibility, with the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler FgIsw1 emerging as a key regulator. Unexpectedly, deletion of FgIsw1 did not affect the transcription of DON biosynthesis genes (Tri) but significantly disrupted transfer RNA (tRNA) transcription, leading to a dramatic decline in translation of DON biosynthesis enzymes. Mechanistically, FgIsw1 maintains nucleosome phasing in tRNA chromatin regions, ensuring efficient tRNA transcription. As a result, ΔFgIsw1 was unable to produce DON and lost its virulence on the host plant. These results highlight a novel role of chromatin remodelers in regulating protein translation through the control of tRNA transcription.
