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

Potassium (K(+)) is an essential macronutrient required for plant growth, development and high yield production of crops. Members of group I of the KT/HAK/KUP family of transporters, such as HAK5, are key components for K(+) acquisition by plant roots at low external K(+) concentrations. Certain abiotic stress conditions such as salinity or Cs(+)-polluted soils may jeopardize plant K(+) nutrition because HAK5-mediated K(+) transport is inhibited by Na(+) and Cs(+). Here, by screening in yeast a randomly-mutated collection of AtHAK5 transporters, a new mutation in AtHAK5 sequence is identified that greatly increases Na(+) tolerance. The single point mutation F130S, affecting an amino acid residue conserved in HAK5 transporters from several species, confers high salt tolerance, as well as Cs(+) tolerance. This mutation increases more than 100-fold the affinity of AtHAK5 for K(+) and reduces the K i values for Na(+) and Cs(+), suggesting that the F130 residue may contribute to the structure of the pore region involved in K(+) binding. In addition, this mutation increases the V max for K(+). All this changes occur without increasing the amount of the AtHAK5 protein in yeast and support the idea that this residue is contributing to shape the selectivity filter of the AtHAK5 transporter.
