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

Animal and plant immune systems use intracellular nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs) to detect pathogens, resulting in the activation of immune responses that are often associated with localized host cell death. Whereas vertebrate NLRs detect evolutionarily conserved molecular patterns and have undergone comparatively little copy number expansion, plant NLRs detect virulence factors that have often diversified in plant pathogen populations, and thus plant NLRs have been subject to parallel diversification. Plant NLRs sense the presence of virulence factors with enzymatic virulence activity often indirectly through their modification of host target proteins. By contrast, phytopathogenic virulence factors without enzymatic activity are usually recognized by NLRs directly by their structure. Structural and biochemical analyses have shown that both indirect and direct recognition of plant pathogens trigger the oligomerization of plant NLRs into active complexes. Assembly into three-layered ring-like structures has emerged as a common principle of NLR activation in plants and animals, but with distinct amino-terminal domains initiating different signalling pathways. Collectively, these analyses point to host cell membranes as a convergence point for activated plant NLRs and the disruption of cellular ion homeostasis as a possible major factor in NLR-triggered cell death signalling.
