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

RNA silencing is an integral part of the cellular defense mechanisms in plants that act against virus infection. However, the specific role of RNA silencing and the interplay between host and virus components during recovery from geminivirus infection remains unknown. Hence, in this study we aimed to examine the mechanism behind the host-specific recovery of Nicotiana tabacum infected with Tomato leaf curl Gujarat virus (ToLCGV). Unlike Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV), ToLCGV infection resulted in symptom remission in N. tabacum, and we found that this was mainly due to cross-talk between the pre-coat protein (encoded by the AV2 ORF) of the virus and the host RNA-silencing component RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 1 (encoded by NtRDR1) of N. tabacum. Moreover, apart from the AV2 mutant, other mutants of ToLCNDV developed severe symptoms on a transgenic NtRDR1-overexpression line of N. benthamiana. In contrast, inoculation with ToLCGV resulted in symptom remission, which was due to enhanced methylation of the ToLCGV promoter. Our study reveals a novel 'arms race' in which the pre-coat protein of ToLCNDV selectively blocks the recovery process through inhibiting host-specific RDR1-mediated antiviral silencing in tobacco.
