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

Potassium (K) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth, and its availability in the soil varies widely, requiring plants to respond and adapt to the changing K nutrient status. We show here that plant growth rate is closely correlated with K status in the medium, and this K-dependent growth is mediated by the highly conserved nutrient sensor, target of rapamycin (TOR). Further study connected the TOR complex (TORC) pathway with a low-K response signaling network consisting of calcineurin B-like proteins (CBL) and CBL-interacting kinases (CIPK). Under high K conditions, TORC is rapidly activated and shut down the CBL-CIPK low-K response pathway through regulatory-associated protein of TOR (RAPTOR)-CIPK interaction. In contrast, low-K status activates CBL-CIPK modules that in turn inhibit TORC by phosphorylating RAPTOR, leading to dissociation and thus inactivation of the TORC. The reciprocal regulation of the TORC and CBL-CIPK modules orchestrates plant response and adaptation to K nutrient status in the environment.
