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

Jasmonates (JAs) are plant hormones with crucial roles in development and stress resilience. They activate MYC transcription factors by mediating the proteolysis of MYC inhibitors called JAZ proteins. In the absence of JA, JAZ proteins bind and inhibit MYC through the assembly of MYC-JAZ-Novel Interactor of JAZ (NINJA)-TPL repressor complexes. However, JAZ and NINJA are predicted to be largely intrinsically unstructured, which has precluded their experimental structure determination. Through a combination of biochemical, mutational, and biophysical analyses and AlphaFold-derived ColabFold modeling, we characterized JAZ-JAZ and JAZ-NINJA interactions and generated models with detailed, high-confidence domain interfaces. We demonstrate that JAZ, NINJA, and MYC interface domains are dynamic in isolation and become stabilized in a stepwise order upon complex assembly. By contrast, most JAZ and NINJA regions outside of the interfaces remain highly dynamic and cannot be modeled in a single conformation. Our data indicate that the small JAZ Zinc finger expressed in Inflorescence Meristem (ZIM) motif mediates JAZ-JAZ and JAZ-NINJA interactions through separate surfaces, and our data further suggest that NINJA modulates JAZ dimerization. This study advances our understanding of JA signaling by providing insights into the dynamics, interactions, and structure of the JAZ-NINJA core of the JA repressor complex.
