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

Freezing stress can seriously affect plant growth and development, but the mechanisms of these effects and plant responses to freezing stress require further exploration. Here, we identified a NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2 (NAC)-family transcription factor (TF), NAC056, that can promote freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis. NAC056 mRNA levels are strongly induced by freezing stress in roots, and the nac056 mutant exhibits compromised freezing tolerance. NAC056 acts positively in response to freezing by directly promoting key C-repeat-binding factor (CBF) pathway genes. Interestingly, we found that CBF1 regulates nitrate assimilation by regulating the nitrate reductase gene NIA1 in plants; therefore, NAC056-CBF1-NIA1 form a regulatory module for the assimilation of nitrate and the growth of roots under freezing stress. In addition, 35S::NAC056 transgenic plants show enhanced freezing tolerance, which is partially reversed in the cbfs triple mutant. Thus, NAC056 confers freezing tolerance through the CBF pathway, mediating plant responses to balance growth and freezing stress tolerance.
