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

Wound-induced protein kinase (WIPK) is a tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) mitogen-activated protein kinase known to play an essential role in defense against wounding and pathogens, although its downstream targets have yet to be clarified. This study identified a gene encoding a protein of 648 amino acids, which directly interacts with WIPK, designated as N. tabacum WIPK-interacting factor (NtWIF). The N-terminal region with approximately 250 amino acids showed a high similarity to the plant-specific DNA binding domain, B3, but no other similarity with known proteins. The C terminus of approximately 200 amino acids appeared to be essential for the interaction with WIPK, and a Luciferase-reporter gene assay using Bright Yellow 2 cells indicated the full-length protein to possess trans-activation activity, located to the middle region of approximately 200 amino acids. In vitro phosphorylation assays indicated that WIPK efficiently phosphorylates the full-length protein and the N terminus but not the C terminus. When full-length NtWIF was coexpressed with WIPK in Bright Yellow 2 cells, the Luciferase transcriptional activity increased up to 5-fold that of NtWIF alone, whereas no effect was observed with a kinase-deficient WIPK mutant. Transcripts of NtWIF began to simultaneously accumulate with those of WIPK 30 min after wounding and 1 h after the onset of hypersensitive response upon tobacco mosaic virus infection. These results suggest that NtWIF is a transcription factor that is directly phosphorylated by WIPK, thereby being activated for transcription of target gene(s) involved in wound and pathogen responses.
