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

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (Gsk3) is a potential drug target in human medicine, controlling many substrates in cellular processes. In this study, FgMetR was identified as a putative binding partner of Fgk3, the Fusarium graminearum ortholog of Gsk3, although the specific functions of both proteins remain uncharacterized. Notably, the physical interaction between FgMetR and Fgk3 was confirmed via yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) assays, and both proteins were shown to co-localize within the nucleus. FgMetR was vital for mycelial growth, conidia development, deoxynivalenol (DON) production, oxidative stress response, and pathogenicity in F. graminearum. RNA-seq showed the Fgk3 and FgMetR co-regulated ABC transporters pathway and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. This study identified FgMetR as a new interacting protein of Fgk3, and demonstrated its crucial role in the growth, conidiation, DON production, and virulence of F. graminearum. It advanced the understanding of Fgk3 function in filamentous fungi and provided a theoretical basis for preventing Fusarium-related diseases.
