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

Arabidopsis AtNRT1.1 (CHL1/AtNPF6.3) is the first nitrate transporter identified in plants and was initially found to play a role in nitrate uptake and transport. AtNRT1.1 also displays auxin transport activity and mediates nitrate-modulated root development, suggesting that it has transport capacity for multiple substrates. Subsequent work revealed that AtNRT1.1 can respond to environmental nitrate fluctuations by altering its nitrate transport activity, modulated by phosphorylation, leading to the critical finding that AtNRT1.1 acts as a transceptor for nitrate sensing. Recent studies have revealed how OsNRT1.1B, the functional homologue of AtNRT1.1 in rice, mediates nitrate signal transduction from the plasma membrane to the nucleus, and how OsNRT1.1B integrates the nitrate and phosphate signaling networks. OsNRT1.1B has also been shown to be involved in regulating the root microbiota to facilitate organic nitrogen mineralization in soil, thus mediating plant-microbe interactions. Furthermore, the divergent functions of OsNRT1.1A and OsNRT1.1B in regulating nitrogen use in rice suggest that the function of NRT1.1 is still far from fully understood. In this review, we focus on the most recent progress on the molecular mechanisms of NRT1.1s in plants, with the aim of providing an up-to-date view of the versatile functions of NRT1.1 in nitrogen utilization in plants.
