PIF7-mediated epigenetic reprogramming promotes the transcriptional response to shade in Arabidopsis.
Article in The EMBO journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
For shade-intolerant plants, changes in light quality through competition from neighbors trigger shade avoidance syndrome (SAS): a series of morphological and physiological adaptations that are ultimately detrimental to plant health and crop yield. Phytochrome-interacting factor 7 (PIF7) is a major transcriptional regulator of SAS in Arabidopsis; however, how it regulates gene expression is not fully understood. Here, we show that PIF7 directly interacts with the histone chaperone anti-silencing factor 1 (ASF1). The ASF1-deprived asf1ab mutant showed defective shade-induced hypocotyl elongation. Histone regulator homolog A (HIRA), which mediates deposition of the H3.3 variant into chromatin, is also involved in SAS. RNA/ChIP-sequencing analyses identified the role of ASF1 in the direct regulation of a subset of PIF7 target genes. Furthermore, shade-elicited gene activation is accompanied by H3.3 enrichment, which is mediated by the PIF7-ASF1-HIRA regulatory module. Collectively, our data reveal that PIF7 recruits ASF1-HIRA to increase H3.3 incorporation into chromatin to promote gene transcription, thus enabling plants to effectively respond to environmental shade.
