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 plant and animal innate immune responses, surveillance of pathogen infection is mediated by membrane-associated receptors and intracellular nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich-repeat receptors (NLRs). Homeostasis of NLRs is under tight multilayered regulation to avoid over-accumulation or over-activation, which often leads to autoimmune responses that have detrimental effects on growth and development. How NLRs are regulated epigenetically at the chromatin level remains unclear. Here, we report that SWP73A, an ortholog of the mammalian switch/sucrose nonfermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin-remodeling protein BAF60, suppresses the expression of NLRs either directly by binding to the NLR promoters or indirectly by affecting the alternative splicing of some NLRs through the suppression of cell division cycle 5 (CDC5), a key regulator of RNA splicing. Upon infection, bacteria-induced small RNAs silence SWP73A to activate a group of NLRs and trigger robust immune responses. SWP73A may function as a H3K9me2 reader to enhance transcription suppression.
