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

Phosphate (Pi) limitation represents a primary constraint on crop production. To better cope with Pi deficiency stress, plants have evolved multiple adaptive mechanisms for phosphorus acquisition and utilization, including the alteration of growth and the activation of Pi starvation signaling. However, how these strategies are coordinated remains largely unknown. Here, we found that the alternative splicing (AS) of REGULATOR OF LEAF INCLINATION 1 (RLI1) in rice (Oryza sativa) produces two protein isoforms: RLI1a, containing MYB DNA binding domain and RLI1b, containing both MYB and coiled-coil (CC) domains. The absence of a CC domain in RLI1a enables it to activate broader target genes than RLI1b. RLI1a, but not RLI1b, regulates both brassinolide (BL) biosynthesis and signaling by directly activating BL-biosynthesis and signaling genes. Both RLI1a and RLI1b modulate Pi starvation signaling. RLI1 and PHOSPHATE STARVATION RESPONSE 2 function redundantly to regulate Pi starvation signaling and growth in response to Pi deficiency. Furthermore, the AS of RLI1-related genes to produce two isoforms for growth and Pi signaling is widely present in both dicots and monocots. Together, these findings indicate that the AS of RLI1 is an important and functionally conserved strategy to orchestrate Pi starvation signaling and growth to help plants adapt to Pi-limitation stress.
