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

Fungi possess several transcription factors with a characteristic velvet domain for DNA binding and homo- or heterodimerization, which is structurally similar to the mammalian NF-κB Rel homology domain. Velvet dimers control fungal development, virulence, and mycotoxin formation. VelB is the only regulator, which carries an intrinsically disordered domain (IDD) within the velvet domain. The IDD, as well as the positioning within VelB, is conserved in the fungal kingdom. Intrinsically disordered regions contribute to transcription activation and DNA binding and frequently appear in eukaryotic transcription factors. The VelB IDD provides selective heterodimerization and protein stability control. The IDD is not required for the formation of the VelB-VeA heterodimer of
