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

key messageTranscription factor MYB59 is involved in plant growth and stress responses by acting as negative regulator of Ca signalling and homeostasis. The Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factor MYB59 is induced by cadmium (Cd) and plays a key role in the regulation of cell cycle progression and root elongation, but its mechanism of action is poorly understood. We investigated the expression of MYB59 and differences between wild-type plants, the myb59 mutant and MYB59-overexpressing lines (obtained by transformation in the mutant genotype) during plant growth and in response to various forms of stress. We also compared the transcriptomes of wild-type and myb59 mutant plants to determine putative MYB59 targets. The myb59 mutant has longer roots, smaller leaves and smaller cells than wild-type plants and responds differently to stress in germination assay. Transcriptomic analysis revealed the upregulation in the myb59 mutant of multiple genes involved in calcium (Ca) homeostasis and signalling, including those encoding calmodulin-like proteins and Ca transporters. Notably, MYB59 was strongly induced by Ca deficiency, and the myb59 mutant was characterized by higher levels of cytosolic Ca in root cells and showed a modest alteration of Ca transient frequency in guard cells, associated with the absence of Ca-induced stomatal closure. These results indicate that MYB59 negatively regulates Ca homeostasis and signalling during Ca deficiency, thus controlling plant growth and stress responses.
