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

Leptosphaeria maculans, the causal agent of blackleg disease in canola (Brassica napus), secretes an array of effectors into the host to overcome host defense. Here we present evidence that the L. maculans effector protein AvrLm1 functions as a virulence factor by interacting with the B. napus mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase 9 (BnMPK9), resulting in increased accumulation and enhanced phosphorylation of the host protein. Transient expression of BnMPK9 in Nicotiana benthamiana induces cell death, and this phenotype is enhanced in the presence of AvrLm1, suggesting that induction of cell death due to enhanced accumulation and phosphorylation of BnMPK9 by AvrLm1 supports the initiation of necrotrophic phase of L. maculans infection. Stable expression of BnMPK9 in B. napus perturbs hormone signaling, notably salicylic acid response genes, to facilitate L. maculans infection. Our findings provide evidence that a MAP kinase is directly targeted by a fungal effector to modulate plant immunity.
