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

Ganoderma lucidum (G. lucidum) produces ganoderic acids (GAs), which are pharmacologically important triterpenoids with hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. In this work, we investigated the effect of acute heat stress (HS) on the enhancement of GA production, and scrutinized the underlying metabolic reorganization process. For this purpose, we integrated transcriptomics and metabolomics to characterize G. lucidum’s HS response in semi-submerged static culture at two timepoints: immediately post-stress (HS-A) and during recovery (HS-B) when GA accumulation peaked. HS suppressed growth and biomass but increased total GA content to 2.6 mg/100 mg dry weight. Transcriptomic analysis revealed 3,058 differentially expressed genes at HS-A and 582 at HS-B. At HS-A, tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), oxidative phosphorylation and ABC transporter genes were upregulated alongside heat shock proteins, while carbohydrate metabolism, pyruvate processing, sugar signaling, mevalonate (MVA) pathway genes and 18 of 21 GA-biosynthetic cytochrome P450s were downregulated. Seven epigenetic regulators displayed different expression patterns. At HS-B, lipid catabolism and fatty acid β-oxidation genes were upregulated, and the MVA pathway was reactivated. Metabolomic profiling identified 4,324 metabolites with 427 differentially accumulated, enriched in terpenoids, GAs, fatty acyls, steroids and amino acids. We also identified heat shock co-chaperone DNAJ1 as a regulatory hub correlated with terpenoid metabolism. This study suggests that temporally coordinated metabolic reorganization may enhance the secondary metabolite production.
