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

Ligand inducible proteins that enable precise and reversible control of nuclear translocation of passenger proteins have broad applications ranging from genetic studies in mammals to therapeutics that target diseases such as cancer and diabetes. One of the drawbacks of the current translocation systems is that the ligands used to control nuclear localization are either toxic or prone to crosstalk with endogenous protein cascades within live animals. We sought to take advantage of salicylic acid (SA), a small molecule that has been extensively used in humans. In plants, SA functions as a hormone that can mediate immunity and is sensed by the nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related (NPR) proteins. Although it is well recognized that nuclear translocation of NPR1 is essential to promoting immunity in plants, the exact subdomain of Arabidopsis thaliana NPR1 (AtNPR1) essential for SA-mediated nuclear translocation is controversial. Here, we utilized the fluorescent protein mCherry as the reporter to investigate the ability of SA to induce nuclear translocation of the full-length NPR1 protein or its C-terminal transactivation (TAD) domain using HEK293 cells as a heterologous system. HEK293 cells lack accessory plant proteins including NPR3/NPR4 and are thus ideally suited for studying the impact of SA-induced changes in NPR1. Our results obtained using a stable expression system show that the TAD of AtNPR1 is sufficient to enable the reversible SA-mediated nuclear translocation of mCherry. Our studies advance a basic understanding of nuclear translocation mediated by the TAD of AtNPR1 and uncover a biotechnological tool for SA-mediated nuclear localization.
