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

Heat stress (HS) adversely affects plant growth and productivity. The Class A1 HS transcription factors (HSFA1s) act as master regulators in the plant response to HS. However, how HSFA1-mediated transcriptional reprogramming is modulated during HS remains to be elucidated. Here, we report that a module formed by the microRNAs miR165 and miR166 and their target transcript, PHABULOSA (PHB), regulates HSFA1 at the transcriptional and translational levels to control plant HS responses. HS-triggered induction of MIR165/166 in Arabidopsis thaliana led to decreased expression of target genes including PHB. MIR165/166 overexpression lines and mutations in miR165/166 target genes enhanced HS tolerance, whereas miR165/166 knockdown lines and plants expressing a miR165/166-resistant form of PHB were sensitive to HS. PHB directly repressed the transcription of HSFA1s and globally modulated the expression of HS-responsive genes. PHB and HSFA1s share a common target gene, HSFA2, which is essential for activation of plant responses to HS. PHB physically interacted with HSFA1s and exerted an antagonistic effect on HSFA1 transcriptional activity. PHB and HSFA1s co-regulated transcriptome reprogramming upon HS. Together, these findings indicate that heat-triggered regulation of the miR165/166-PHB module controls HSFA1-mediated transcriptional reprogramming and plays a critical role during HS in Arabidopsis.
