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

MAIN

conclusionSuppression of the maize phytoglobin ZmPgb1.1 enhances tolerance against Clavibacter nebraskensis by promoting hypersensitive response mechanisms mediated by ethylene and reactive oxygen species. Suppression of the maize phytoglobin, ZmPgb1.1, reduced lesion size and disease severity in leaves following inoculation with Clavibacter nebraskensis, the causal agent of Goss's bacterial wilt disease of corn. These effects were associated with an increase of the transcriptional levels of ethylene biosynthetic and responsive genes, which resulted in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and TUNEL-positive nuclei in the proximity of the inoculation site. An in vitro system, in which maize cells were treated with induced xylem sap, was employed to define the cause-effect relationship of these events. Phytoglobins (Pgbs) are hemoglobins able to scavenge nitric oxide (NO). Suppression of ZmPgb1.1 elevated the level of NO in cells exposed to the induced xylem sap causing a rise in the transcript levels of ethylene biosynthesis and response genes, as well as ethylene. Accumulation of ethylene in the same cells was sufficient to elevate the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS), through the activation of the respiratory burst oxidase homologs (Rboh) genes, and trigger programmed cell death (PCD). The sequence of these events was demonstrated by manipulating the content of NO and ethylene in culture through pharmacological treatments. Collectively, our results illustrated that suppression of ZmPgb1.1 evokes tolerance against C. nebraskensis culminating in the execution of PCD, a key step of the hypersensitive response.
