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

Triterpenoids are well-known pharmacological components of Sanghuangporus fungi, such as Sanghuangporus lonicericola. This study investigates the inductive effects of paclobutrazol (PBZ) on triterpenoid biosynthesis in the submerged fermentation of S. lonicericola and explores the induction mechanisms via multi-omics and genetic methods. The addition of 100 mg/L PBZ significantly increases the triterpenoid yield by 151.39%. A total of 29 triterpenoids are tentatively identified, of which 18 are newly presented only under PBZ induction. Moreover, 30 genes involved in the MVA pathway and 31 genes encoding cytochrome P450 monooxygenases assumed to be responsible for decoration are identified. Finally, a MYB transcription factor (SlMYB) is identified and found to be downregulated under paclobutrazol induction. Genetic manipulation of SlMYB demonstrates its negative regulatory effect on four putative target genes, including ACAT, MVD, IDI, and FDPS. Electrophoretic mobility gel shift assays verify the direct interactions with the promoters of MVD, IDI, and FDPS. Taken together, PBZ acts as an effective inducer of triterpenoid biosynthesis in S. lonicericola, and the transcription factor SlMYB is negatively regulated.
