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 sophisticated immune networks to restrict pathogen colonization. In response, pathogens deploy numerous virulent effectors to circumvent plant immune responses. However, the molecular mechanisms by which pathogen-derived effectors suppress plant defenses remain elusive. Here, we report that the nucleus-localized RxLR effector PsAvh110 from the pathogen Phytophthora sojae, causing soybean (Glycine max) stem and root rot, modulates the activity of a transcriptional complex to suppress plant immunity. Soybean like-heterochromatin protein 1-2 (GmLHP1-2) and plant homeodomain finger protein 6 (GmPHD6) form a transcriptional complex with transcriptional activity that positively regulates plant immunity against Phytophthora infection. To suppress plant immunity, the nuclear effector PsAvh110 disrupts the assembly of the GmLHP1-2/GmPHD6 complex via specifically binding to GmLHP1-2, thus blocking its transcriptional activity. We further show that PsAvh110 represses the expression of a subset of immune-associated genes, including BRI1-associated receptor kinase 1-3 (GmBAK1-3) and pathogenesis-related protein 1 (GmPR1), via G-rich elements in gene promoters. Importantly, PsAvh110 is a conserved effector in different Phytophthora species, suggesting that the PsAvh110 regulatory mechanism might be widely utilized in the genus to manipulate plant immunity. Thus, our study reveals a regulatory mechanism by which pathogen effectors target a transcriptional complex to reprogram transcription.
