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

Plant adaptation in variable soil nitrate concentrations involves sophisticated signaling and transport systems that modulate a variety of physiological and developmental responses. However, we know very little about their molecular mechanisms. It has recently been reported that many of these responses are regulated by a transceptor NRT1.1, a transporter cum receptor of nitrate signaling. NRT1.1 displays dual-affinity modes of nitrate binding and establishes phosphorylated/non-phosphorylated states at the amino acid residue threonine 101 in response to fluctuating nitrate concentrations. Here we report that intrinsic structural asymmetries between the protomers of the homodimer NRT1.1 provide a functional basis for having dual-affinity modes of nitrate binding and play a pivotal role for the phosphorylation switch. Nitrate-triggered local conformational changes facilitate allosteric communications between the nitrate binding and the phosphorylation site in one protomer, but such communications are impeded in the other. Structural analysis therefore suggests the functional relevance of NRT1.1 interprotomer asymmetries.
