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

Temperature increases as light intensity rises, but whether light signals can be directly linked to high temperature response in plants is unclear. Here, we find that light pre-treatment enables plants to survive better under high temperature, designated as light-induced thermotolerance (LIT). With short-term light treatment, plants induce light-signaling pathway genes and heat shock genes. Blue light photoreceptor cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) is required for LIT. We also find that CRY1 physically interacts with the heat shock transcription factor A1d (HsfA1d) and that HsfA1d is involved in thermotolerance under light treatment. Furthermore, CRY1 promotes HsfA1d nuclear localization through importin alpha 1 (IMPα1). Consistent with this, CRY1 shares more than half of the chromatin binding sites with HsfA1d. Mutation of CRY1 (cry1-304) diminishes a large number of HsfA1d binding sites that are shared with CRY1. We present a model where, by coupling light sensing to high-temperature stress, CRY1 confers thermotolerance in plants via HsfA1d.
