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

Phototropins, plant blue light receptors, mediate stomatal opening through the activation of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase by unknown mechanisms. Here we report that type 1 protein phosphatase (PP1) positively regulates the blue light signaling between phototropins and the H(+)-ATPase in guard cells of Vicia faba. We cloned the four catalytic subunits of PP1 (PP1c) from guard cells and determined the expression of the isoforms in various tissues. Transformation of Vicia guard cells with PP1c isoforms that had lost enzymatic activity by one amino acid mutation, or with human inhibitor-2, a specific inhibitor protein of PP1c, suppressed blue light-induced stomatal opening. Addition of fusicoccin, an activator of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase, to these transformed guard cells induced normal stomatal opening, suggesting that the transformations did not affect the basic mechanisms for stomatal opening. Tautomycin, an inhibitor of PP1, inhibited blue light-induced H(+) pumping, phosphorylation of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase in guard cell protoplasts, and stomatal opening. However, tautomycin did not inhibit the blue light-dependent phosphorylation of phototropins. We conclude that PP1 functions downstream of phototropins and upstream of the H(+)-ATPase in the blue light signaling pathway of guard cells.
