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

De novo shoot regeneration in tissue culture undergoes at least two phases. Explants are first cultured on auxin-rich callus-inducing medium (CIM) to produce a group of pluripotent cells termed callus; the callus is then transferred to cytokinin rich shoot-inducing medium (SIM) to promote the formation of shoot progenitor cells, from which adventitious shoots may differentiate. Here, we show that the Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factor gene LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN16 (LBD16) is involved in pluripotency acquisition in callus cells. LBD16, which is activated by WUSCHEL RELATED HOMEOBOX11 (WOX11), is specifically expressed in the newly formed callus on CIM and its expression decreases quickly when callus is moved to SIM. Blocking the WOX11-LBD16 pathway results in the loss of pluripotency in callus cultured on CIM, leading to shooting defects on SIM. Further analysis showed that LBD16 may function in the establishment of the root primordium-like identity in the newly formed callus, indicating that the root primordium-like identity is the cellular nature of pluripotency in callus cells. Additionally, LBD16 promotes cell division during callus initiation. Our study clarified that the WOX11-LBD16 pathway promotes pluripotency acquisition in callus cells.
