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

Predatory fungi possess intricate signal transduction systems that regulate their development and support successful infection of the host. Herein, we characterized three components of the cell wall integrity-controlling pathway, namely protein kinase C (AoPKC), SLT2-MAPK (AoSLT2), and SWI6 (AoSWI6), in a representative nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora, using gene disruption and multi-omics approaches. The phenotypic traits (such as mycelia development, conidiation, stress response, and trap morphogenesis) and metabolic profiles of ΔAopkc and ΔAoswi6 mutants were similar but differed from those of the ΔAoslt2 mutants. Transcriptomic analysis indicated that the genes differentially expressed in the absence of Aoswi6 were involved in DNA replication, repair, and recombination during trap formation. Moreover, the yeast two-hybrid assay showed that AoPKC interacted with AoSWI6, suggesting that in A. oligospora, PKC can directly regulate SWI6, bypassing the SLT2 signaling cascade. Conclusively, our findings deepen our understanding of the regulatory mechanism of asexual development and lifestyle switching in nematode-trapping fungi.
