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

Gpi7 gene, encoding the catalytic subunit of GPI ethanolamine-phosphate (Etn-P) transferase II, is primarily involved in the synthesis, maturation, and sorting of GPI-anchored proteins (GPI-APs), thereby playing a crucial part in cell wall functions and host-pathogen interactions. This study aimed to investigate the role of Gpi7 (here designated CcGpi7) in Corynespora cassiicola, a devastating fungal pathogen causing leaf spot in cucumber and many other cash crops. We systematically identified and inventoried 138 GPI-APs in C. cassiicola, followed by a detailed structural characterization of the CcGpi7 protein that is strongly induced during infection. Homologous recombination was employed to construct a CcGpi7-deleted mutant (ΔCcGpi7) and its corresponding complementary strain (cCcGpi7). Compared with the wild type and cCcGpi7, deletion of CcGpi7 led to markedly reduced vegetative growth and conidia formation. The ΔCcGpi7 mutant displayed obvious defects in cell wall architecture, manifested as enhanced susceptibility to cell wall-perturbing agents and degrading enzymes. Under stress conditions, ΔCcGpi7 exhibited increased sensitivity to KCl but reduced sensitivity to sorbitol and H
