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

The cryptochrome blue light photoreceptors mediate various photomorphogenic responses in plants, including hypocotyl elongation, cotyledon expansion, and control of flowering time. The molecular mechanism of cryptochrome function in Arabidopsis is becoming increasingly clear, with recent studies showing that both CRY1 and CRY2 are localized in the nucleus and that CRY2 is regulated by blue light-dependent phosphorylation. Despite these advances, no positive cryptochrome signaling component has been identified to date. Here, we demonstrate that a novel Ser/Thr protein phosphatase (AtPP7) with high sequence similarity to the Drosophila retinal degeneration C protein phosphatase acts as an intermediate in blue light signaling. Transgenic Arabidopsis seedlings with reduced AtPP7 expression levels exhibit loss of hypocotyl growth inhibition and display limited cotyledon expansion in response to blue light irradiation. These effects are as striking as those seen in hy4 mutant seedlings, which are deficient in CRY1. We further demonstrate that AtPP7 transcript levels are not rate limiting and that AtPP7 probably acts downstream of cryptochrome in the nucleus, ensuring signal flux through the pathway. Based on our findings and recent data regarding cryptochrome action, we propose that AtPP7 acts as a positive regulator of cryptochrome signaling in Arabidopsis.
