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

In both plants and animals, nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors perceive pathogen-derived molecules to trigger immunity. Global NLR homeostasis must be tightly controlled to ensure sufficient and timely immune output while avoiding aberrant activation, the mechanisms of which are largely unclear. In a previous reverse genetic screen, we identified two novel E3 ligases, SNIPER1 and its homolog SNIPER2, both of which broadly control the levels of NLR immune receptors in Arabidopsis. Protein levels of sensor NLRs (sNLRs) are inversely correlated with SNIPER1 amount and the interactions between SNIPER1 and sNLRs seem to be through the common nucleotide-binding (NB) domains of sNLRs. In support, SNIPER1 can ubiquitinate the NB domains of multiple sNLRs in vitro. Our study thus reveals a novel process of global turnover of sNLRs by two master E3 ligases for immediate attenuation of immune output to effectively avoid autoimmunity. Such unique mechanism can be utilized in the future for engineering broad-spectrum resistance in crops to fend off pathogens that damage our food supply.
