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

backgroundCitrus is the most widely cultivated fruit crop with the highest yield worldwide, and postharvest losses caused by Penicillium digitatum account for 90% of the total postharvest losses in citrus. Enoyl-CoA hydratase (ECH) catalyzes the second step of β-oxidation, the primary pathway of fatty acid catabolism. Previous studies have shown that ECH deficiency causes developmental delay, mitochondrial dysfunction, nervous system damage and other symptoms, and these phenotypes have been reported in humans, mice and Drosophila.

objectiveThis study aimed to characterize the biological function of the PdEch1 gene in P. digitatum.

methodsThe PdEch1 gene deletion strain ΔPdEch1 and complemented strain ΔPdEch1-C were constructed via Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation. Physiological assays were performed, including mycelial growth rate measurement, conidial yield quantification, conidial germination rate assay, stress agent sensitivity testing, and pathogenicity evaluation. In addition, transcriptome sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) were conducted.

resultsDeletion of PdEch1 increased conidial production by 51.4% and altered the expression of conidiation-related genes such as brlA and rodA. Furthermore, the ΔPdEch1 strain exhibited significantly enhanced resistance to H

conclusionsThis study reveals that the PdEch1 gene is closely associated with conidial formation and oxidative stress tolerance in P. digitatum, providing a reference for the development and screening of target sites for novel fungicides.
