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

Identification of environmental stress sensors is one of the most important research topics in plant abiotic stress research. Traditional strategies to identify stress sensors or early signaling components based on the cell membrane as a primary site of sensing and calcium signal as a second messenger have had only limited successes. Therefore, the current theoretical framework underlying stress sensing in plants should be reconsidered and additional mechanisms need to be introduced. Recently, accumulating evidence has emerged to suggest that liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is a major mechanism for environmental stress sensing and response in plants. In this review, we briefly introduce LLPS regarding its concept, compositions, and dynamics, and then summarize recent progress of LLPS research in plants, emphasizing the contribution of LLPS to the sensing of various environmental stresses, such as dehydration, osmotic stress, and low and high temperatures. Finally, we propose strategies to identify key proteins that sense and respond to environmental stimuli on the basis of LLPS, and discuss the research directions of LLPS in plant abiotic stress responses and its potential application in enhancing stress tolerance in crops.
