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

RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 1 (RDR1) is essential for plant antiviral defence, but its role in plant defence against viroid infection remains unknown. The present study aimed to identify the function and mechanism of RDR1 in plant resistance to viroid infection. Overexpression of Nicotiana tabacum RDR1 (NtRDR1) delayed the accumulation of potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) genomic RNA and PSTVd-derived small RNA (sRNA) in Nicotiana benthamiana plants at the early invasion stage, but not in the late stage of infection. Conversely, virus-induced gene silencing of tomato RDR1 (SlRDR1a) increased the susceptibility to PSTVd infection (increased viroid accumulation). Salicylic acid (SA) pretreatment induced SlRDR1a expression and enhanced the defence against PSTVd infection in tomato plants. Our study demonstrated that RDR1 is involved in SA-mediated defence and restricts the early systemic invasion by PSTVd in plants. The decreased PSTVd accumulation in N. benthamiana was not caused by efficient accumulation of PSTVd sRNAs. These results deepen our understanding of the mechanism of RDR1 in plant defence responses to viroid attack.
