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

Plants have evolved a lignin-based Casparian strip (CS) in roots that restricts passive diffusion of mineral elements from the soil to the stele. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying CS formation in rice (Oryza sativa), which contains a CS at both the exodermis and endodermis, are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that CS formation at the rice endodermis is redundantly regulated by three MYELOBLASTOSIS (MYB) transcription factors, OsMYB36a, OsMYB36b, and OsMYB36c, that are highly expressed in root tips. Knockout of all three genes resulted in a complete absence of CS at the endodermis and retarded plant growth in hydroponic conditions and in soil. Compared with the wild-type, the triple mutants showed higher calcium (Ca) levels and lower Mn, Fe, Zn, Cu, and Cd levels in shoots. High Ca supply further inhibited mutant growth and increased Ca levels in shoots. Transcriptome analysis identified 1,093 downstream genes regulated by OsMYB36a/b/c, including the key CS formation gene OsCASP1 and other genes that function in CS formation at the endodermis. Three OsMYB36s regulate OsCASP1 and OsESB1 expression by directly binding to MYB-binding motifs in their promoters. Our findings thus provide important insights into the mechanism of CS formation at the endodermis and the selective uptake of mineral elements in roots.
