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

HpaXm produced by the cotton leaf blight bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. malvacearum is a novel harpin elicitor of the induced hypersensitive response (HR) in tobacco. We investigated whether fragments of HpaXm, compared with fragments of Hpa1Xoo, are sufficient for HR or plant growth promotion (PGP) elicitation using four synthetic peptides (HpaXm35-51, HpaXm10-39, Hpa1Xoo36-52 and Hpa1Xoo10-40). We also heated the fragments to determine the heat tolerance of the functional fragments. HpaXm35-51 and Hpa1Xoo36-52 induced hypersensitive response (HR). Bursts of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) induced by HpaXm35-51 and Hpa1Xoo36-52 were earlier and stronger than those induced by HpaXm and Hpa1Xoo. In plants treated with HpaXm35-51 or Hpa1Xoo36-52, the expression of the HR marker genes Hin1 and Hsr203J and the active oxygen metabolism related gene AOX were significantly upregulated. These findings suggest that the predicted α-helical structures of the HpaXm35-51 and Hpa1Xoo36-52 fragments are crucial for HR. PGP result by soaking seeds in unheated/heated HpaXm10-39 or Hpa1Xoo10-40 solution prior to transfer, which obviously enhances root growth and the aerial parts of plants. The PGP related gene NtEXP6 was greatly enhanced when plants were sprayed with a solution of HpaXm10-39 or Hpa1Xoo10-40; heated fragment treatments induced higher levels of NtEXP6 expression than unheated HpaXm fragments. In addition, HR marker genes induced by the heated fragments had lower expression levels than when induced with unheated HpaXm fragments. Moreover, the expression levels of HR marker genes and PGP related genes induced by treatment with Hpa1Xoo fragments before or after heating were the opposite of those induced by HpaXm fragments. Different functional fragments of harpin and different harpins with the same functional region have different degrees of heat tolerance. Therefore, the heat resistance of harpin is conservative, but the degree of heat tolerance of the functional fragments is specific.
