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

The regulated nucleocytoplasmic exchange of macromolecules is essential for the eukaryotic cell. However, nuclear transport pathways defined by different nuclear transport receptors (NTRs), including importins and exportins, and their significance in activating distinct stress responses are poorly understood in plants. Here, we exploited a CRISPR/Cas9-based genetic screen to search for modifiers of CONSTITUTIVE EXPRESSION OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENE 5 (cpr5), an Arabidopsis thaliana nucleoporin mutant that activates autoimmune responses that partially mimic effector-triggered immunity (ETI). We identified an NTR gene, Exportin-4 (XPO4), as a genetic interactor of CPR5. The xpo4 cpr5 double mutant activates catastrophic immune responses, which leads to seedling lethality. By leveraging the newly developed proximity-labeling proteomics, we profiled XPO4 substrates and identified TOPLESS (TPL) and TPL-related (TPR) transcription corepressors as XPO4-specific cargo. TPL/TPRs target negative regulators of immunity and are redundantly required for ETI induction. We found that loss-of-XPO4 promotes the nuclear accumulation of TPL/TPRs in the presence of elevated salicylic acid (SA), which contributes to the SA-mediated defense amplification and potentiates immune induction in the cpr5 mutant. We showed that TPL and TPRs are required for the enhanced immune activation observed in xpo4 cpr5 but not for the cpr5 single-mutant phenotype, underscoring the functional interplay between XPO4 and TPL/TPRs and its importance in cpr5-dependent immune induction. We propose that XPO4 coordinates the nuclear accumulation of TPL/TPRs, which plays a role in regulating SA-mediated defense feedback to modulate immune strength downstream of CPR5 during ETI induction.
