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

Resistance in tomato to Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato (avrPto) is conferred by the gene Pto in a gene-for-gene relationship. A hypersensitive disease resistance response (HR) is elicited when Pto and avrPto are expressed experimentally within the same plant cell. The kinase capability of Pto was required for AvrPto-dependent HR induction. Systematic mutagenesis of the activation segment of Pto kinase confirmed the homologous P+1 loop as an AvrPto-binding determinant. Specific amino acid substitutions in this region led to constitutive induction of HR upon expression in the plant cell in the absence of AvrPto. Constitutively active Pto mutants required kinase capability for activity, and were unable to interact with proteins previously shown to bind to wild-type Pto. The constitutive gain-of-function phenotype was dependent on a functional Prf gene, demonstrating activation of the cognate disease resistance pathway and precluding a role for Prf upstream of Pto.
