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

Sugar beet cultivation is dependent on an effective control of beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV, family Benyviridae), which causes tremendous economic losses in sugar production. As the virus is transmitted by a soilborne protist, the use of resistant cultivars is currently the only way to control the disease. The Rz2 gene product belongs to a family of proteins conferring resistance towards diverse pathogens in plants. These proteins contain coiled-coil and leucine-rich repeat domains. After artificial inoculation of homozygous Rz2 resistant sugar beet lines, BNYVV and beet soilborne mosaic virus (BSBMV, family Benyviridae) were not detected. Analysis of the expression of Rz2 in naturally infected plants indicated constitutive expression in the root system. In a transient assay, coexpression of Rz2 and the individual BNYVV-encoded proteins revealed that only the combination of Rz2 and triple gene block protein 1 (TGB1) resulted in a hypersensitive reaction (HR)-like response. Furthermore, HR was also triggered by the TGB1 homologues from BSBMV as well as from the more distantly related beet soilborne virus (family Virgaviridae). This is the first report of an R gene providing resistance across different plant virus families.
