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

key messageF-box E3-ubiquitin ligases regulate critical biological processes in plant development and stress responses. Future research could elucidate why and how plants have acquired a large number of F-box genes. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is a predominant regulatory mechanism employed by plants to maintain the protein turnover in the cells and involves the interplay of three classes of enzymes, E1 (ubiquitin-activating), E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating), and E3 ligases. The diverse and most prominent protein family among eukaryotes, F-box proteins, are a vital component of the multi-subunit SCF (Skp1-Cullin 1-F-box) complex among E3 ligases. Several F-box proteins with multifarious functions in different plant systems have evolved rapidly over time within closely related species, but only a small part has been characterized. We need to advance our understanding of substrate-recognition regulation and the involvement of F-box proteins in biological processes and environmental adaptation. This review presents a background of E3 ligases with particular emphasis on the F-box proteins, their structural assembly, and their mechanism of action during substrate recognition. We discuss how the F-box proteins regulate and participate in the signaling mechanisms of plant development and environmental responses. We highlight an urgent need for research on the molecular basis of the F-box E3-ubiquitin ligases in plant physiology, systems biology, and biotechnology. Further, the developments and outlooks of the potential technologies targeting the E3-ubiquitin ligases for developing crop improvement strategies have been discussed.
