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

The plant signaling pathway that regulates pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI) involves mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades that comprise sequential activation of several protein kinases and the ensuing phosphorylation of MAPKs, which activate transcription factors (TFs) to promote downstream defense responses. To identify plant TFs that regulate MAPKs, we investigated TF-defective mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana and identified MYB44 as an essential constituent of the PTI pathway. MYB44 confers resistance against the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae by cooperating with MPK3 and MPK6. Under PAMP treatment, MYB44 binds to the promoters of MPK3 and MPK6 to activate their expression, leading to phosphorylation of MPK3 and MPK6 proteins. In turn, phosphorylated MPK3 and MPK6 phosphorylate MYB44 in a functionally redundant manner, thus enabling MYB44 to activate MPK3 and MPK6 expression and further activate downstream defense responses. Activation of defense responses has also been attributed to activation of EIN2 transcription by MYB44, which has previously been shown to affect PAMP recognition and PTI development. AtMYB44 thus functions as an integral component of the PTI pathway by connecting transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of the MPK3/6 cascade.
